Could this be Gymnopilus junionus (spectabilis)?
    #19039708 - 10/27/13 08:38 AM (10 years, 3 months ago)

Habitat: Birch, oak, beech-forest.

Quite big caps (10cm across) and thick stem (3-4cm across).

Didn't grow gregarious. Was growing from the ground, there could be buried wood but I didn't see any. And the mushrooms didn't taste bitter. This talks against G. junionus, but since they match pretty good to me visually I need your expert opinions :wink:.

The only other species I could think about is Cortinarius caperatus, but I found that species just a few weeks earlier and they were not quite like this and only in a completely different habitat.

Ya there must be burried wood because it sure looks like them to me, could be a similar species too.
Nice find!! This is on the top of my must find list.

Nice save Joie, as I read just now they could be toxic if eaten raw.

bloodworm: Yes, but I found it a month ago and I didn't bring them home because I knew the bigger mushrooms are less potent. But it would have been the first time I found gyms and I have looked for several years, from what I've read they are more common in the most southern parts of my country.

Joie: Thanks, it looks like a better match!

Pleasure. I found it once or twice and it demands attention with big shots in several of my field guides just so I can pounce at times like this. :smile:

"...very large and highly distinctive toadstool that has probably experienced more name changes than any other British species. It has often been called Gymnopilus spectabilis but that is a quite different fungus growing on rotting wood and now correctly known as Gymnopilus junonius." - Buczacki (2012), Collins

So it is by no means the first time P. aurea has caused confusion!
