Well, had this pics laying around since the last hunt. It was getting late already and i though some cool pics could come out.
Gymnopilus spectabilis (Fries) Smith Mush. in Their Nat. Hab. 471. 1949.
Synonym: Gymnopilus junonius (Fries) P. D. Orton
Pileus Cap 7-20 cm broad, convex with incurved margin, nearly plane in age; surface dry, yellowish-orange to orange with fine brown scales; flesh thick, yellow, turning red in KOH; odor mild to pungent, taste bitter. Lamellae Gills close, adnate, notched, to slightly decurrent; yellow, becoming orange. Stipe Stipe 7-21 cm long, 1-4 cm thick, yellow-orange, lighter than the cap, streaked with brown fibrils, equal, club-shaped, or ventricose, usually narrowed at the base; partial veil membranous, yellowish, forming a usually persistent superior ring.
Spores Spores 7.5-10 x 4.5-6 µm, roughened, elliptical. Spore print rusty-orange. Habitat Fruiting from early fall to mid-winter in clusters on stumps and logs of both hardwoods and conifers. Edibility Inedible, very bitter. Comments Gymnopilus spectabilis is well named as its yellowish-orange clustered fruitings are often massive with dinner plate-sized mushroom caps. The combination of a clustered habit on wood, orange cap, well developed ring, bitter taste and rusty spores make it easy to identify.

West-southern Europe, Portugal.
Didn't know about this particular gym site though. I've got more nearby sites like this one at the town outskirts. Seems like i'm sort of blessed with gyms where i live
