First time in a couple years found a G. speciosissimus:

This was early in the season (October 5 or so) where I normally hunt for G. subspectabilis. It's an early 20th-century neighborhood with a lot of current+former oak trees. Just over 1kg from this basketball-sized mass. Turned it into my strongest gym trip so far!

Amazing!

A day later I came back to photograph the sporegasm money shot. Those orange leaves are periwinkles covered in spores. Get ready for a mess if you try to get your hands on these!

I'm not a TI, but I'm a Gym hunter who's 99/100 sure those are Gyms, as the scaly cap, color, gills, and growth habit look right. I'm only a bit less than 99/100 on those being G. subspectabilis, but since I'm not up on G. lutes and it's close relatives I'm a bit shy about species.
Good job! Please note the location as you are likely to see more fruits there in the future!

This pic, combined with Moira's earlier post(s) about harvesting or leaving fruits to grow, makes me wonder if we should be discussing how to handle found subspects. I make a point of harvesting ASAP, I'm in MD and not only do the specimens not seem to grow much once they appear, there's a really high likelihood of their rotting in very short order. The fastest rotting, IME, are when the myc is frisbee-sized and jam-picked with lots of pins with a few larger fruits.
