It's in the Gym family, but not sure which one
    #6136731 -

well they've been fruiting on my mulch pile for some time now. They have orange gills like laughing gyms, but i'm pretty sure they're not gyms. rustish coloured scales it looks like on the caps. cap is smooth all over, no nipple, gills are attached, leaves a nice orange spore print. the pic doesn't show the true colour, they're brighter than what they appear. The caps are paleing orange/yellowish with the scales, found in early october, on a mulch pile. again pretty sure they're not laughing gyms, but i think they're in the same family, just wanna end my curiousity cuz these things fruit every other day it seems :P ty for helping

Take a print(place the mushroom; gills-down on paper) and see what colour the spores are.

I think someone else recently posted another find with the scales you describe, I cant remember what it was though.

Hm, yeah those are Gymnopilus mushrooms for sure.

What state/area did you find them?

Gym's are a tricky family to identify down to exact species. There are about 100 to 200 different species of Gymnopilus, and only about a dozen of them are psychoactive.

Look for blue, blue-green, or green colored bruising/ageing in the mushrooms you found. Also look for a blue color in the mycelium of the mushrooms.

in a gymmy looking sample i found, the mushrooms had a greenish tint to there yellow flesh , nothing more than that, not bruising, no coloration of mycelium, some were more greenish than others, just curious if that would apply to a active gym?, not looking for a conformation, just curious?????
