Gymnopilus
''Gymnopilus'' is a genus of gilled mushrooms within the fungal family Hymenogastraceae containing over 200 rusty-orange spored mushroom species. Description The basidiocarp, fruit body is typically reddish brown to rusty orange to yellow, medium to large, often with a well-developed partial veil, veil. Similar genera Members of ''Pholiota'' and ''Cortinarius'' are easy to confuse with ''Gymnopilus''. ''Pholiota'' can be distinguished by its viscid pileus (mycology), cap and duller (brown to cinnamon brown) basidiospore, spores, and ''Cortinarius'' grows on the ground. Beginners can confuse ''Gymnopilus'' with ''Galerina'', which contains deadly Mushroom poisoning, poisonous species. Taxonomy ''Gymnopilus'' was formerly divided among ''Pholiota'' and the defunct genus ''Flammula''. The genus has over 200 species worldwide. Psychoactive species Fourteen members of ''Gymnopilus'' contain psilocybin, although their bitter taste often deters recreational users. These spe ...
