ID request: SF Bay Area...BIG Laughing Jim? Gymnopilus junonius
    #26387649 - 12/17/19 06:30 PM (4 years, 1 month ago)

Habitat:  Roots of fallen Pine tree
    Location: Bay Area California
    Gills: Pale Orange, bruises brown..no forking. 
    Stem:  Stem is very large and fibrous with annulus. 
    Spore print:  Orange with a tint of red/brown
    Smell:  Faint smell of berries...slightly like apple juice.  Taste is extremely bitter.

Biggest mushroom weighs 3lbs and is 25cm across.  Smallest haven't developed gills and were found on "top" of the fallen tree growing out of a hole. 

The large ones needed to be dug out from underneath the roots....they were extremely tightly spaced and growing into each other.

My best guess was Gymnopilus ventricosus.  But I read you can dye fabric by simmering this...achieving a yellow color.  When I simmered some of it....it became dark green...which is something I read consistent with Gymnopilus junonius.

Thanks everyone!
