Ah yes they've split it between two species.. let's see if we can unravel it and which one I have here

Gymnopilus spectabilis (Weinm.) A.H. Sm. 1949 (= Phaeolepiota aurea)
Gymnopilus spectabilis sensu Smith (1949), sensu auct. (= Gymnopilus junonius)

Basidiomycota Checklist-Online - Name Search Page

I favour Gymnopilus junonius over Phaeolepiota aurea simply based on photos on the web.. eg Fungi from British Isles

Anybody here have a proper definition of both who can give an opinion?

Steve,

Mal was merely saying G. spectabilis is now called G.junonius - which is why I previously said I will go along with this fungus being G.junonius.
