Hi,
Found these growing in my garden. Initially thought they were False Chanterelles but taste is bitter/inedible . Think they are Laughing Jim’s/Spectacular Rustgill, but stem/stipe differs from most of the available pictures, it’s too straight

  • Found in north midlands Uk
  • Top of garden early November right next to wooden vegetable raised bed that’s been in for 4 years and this is first time I’ve seen these shrooms
  • was growing between soil and the wood of raised bed
  • Spore print (see pic) rusty




  • colour - Bright orange Cap And yellowy orange gills
  • Stipe is straight and paler than the cap, which makes me doubt the Laughing Jim diagnosis as it’s stipe is same colour as cap and appears to swell in middle
  • Taste bitter unpleasant
  • Heated in a pan and shrank massively and went brownish green
  • Large mushrooms - cap on largest 11cm (see pic) and up turned at edges on some of the bigger ones, but more curved downward on smaller less mature ones





  • Smell meaty, nice smell so taste unexpected
  • No bruising or blue when pressed and sport print rusty so assume not psychedelic. But I’ve read that laughing Jim’s have a rusty spore print so confused?

    Consider Gymnopilus penetrans.
