Spectacular Rustgill (Gymnopilus junonius)Observer
mijkteeDescription
Field Notes - gilled mushrooms growing in a clump. each mushroom was about 5 -8 cm across. the caps were orange brown with a fine hairlike texture. caps were quite thick in the centre. my suggestion is gymnopilus junionus based on appearance but I read they live on dry wood and these were on a gas nature strip
