Habitat: Directly off a dead log, not sure of the type of wood.
Gills: Brownish to Orange maybe even a lil white but not positive
Stem: solid stem, orange in color and somewhat woody
Cap: round cap, Very orange, smells fruity/spice like
Spore print color: I am trying to get a spore print now, will edit when I know
Bruising: No noticable bruising
Other information: This mushroom was growing by itself, not in a group like I see from most of the gyms on here but wanted to see if it was one anyways. Any input will be helpful. Thnx

I question it becuase it was growing alone with no others around it, and most, if not all the other pics i have seen of them, they are grouped. I just had a friend of mine tell me to fry a piece of it to see if it turns green, he siad if it does then it is one. Anyone know of this method or if there is any truth to it??

Oh I kno their potency is low, I was just very happy that I found one, this is my first active find in my area and this will be my fuel to continue my search, I am making a print on a regular piece of paper just for some more conclusive evidence and it already shows signs of a rust coloring. This also gives me a good idea of where to continue my search, thnx for all the replies. Its raining like a bitch here now so I will continue my search this weekend.

keeep the cap moist while printing, put a damp paper towel on it, and print it multiple times. scrape those spores in a spray bottle and spray similiar looking stumps.

It was in the woods on a dead log, not sure what type of log but most likely some type of hardwood, no bark left on it, very small, i mean really small, but oddly never dry stream about 40 yards away but is most likely irrelevant

Also i believe that the season for these mushrooms has only just started, so dont stop lookin, I've looked for several years now and this is my first active find in my area.
