From the article Gymnopilus aurantiophyllus on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), quoted section by section
Description
The cap is 4 to 8 cm (1.6 to 3.1 in) in diameter. The caps are a bright yellow orange or ochre. (Part of the binomial name comes from aurantius which is Latin for, more or less, orange.) The gills are "narrowly attached with a distinct notch." Gymnopilus aurantiophyllus has a distinctly bitter taste and is not recommended for eating.
Range & habitat
Gymnopilus aurantiophyllus has been found growing in clumps on sawdust, in Oregon, in November. It is found in pine forests and on decaying lignin-rich substrates like wood chips or old stumps. Distribution of this species appears to be primarily the Pacific coast of North America, and it seems to be most frequently observed in the months of December and January.
