I do not have too much experience with these Gymnopilus spp. but a possibility could be G.sapineus.
I am sure you do have Gymnopilus here, but the colours lack the reddish brown I would normally expect, perhaps it was just a dull day.

Why are we working on this definitely being a Gymnopilus? The colours especially the colours of that spore print don't look quite right to me - might be an artefact of course
as MH suggests a microscope would certainly help; it's also a pity that the shots do not show some possible useful characters in focus 
then again it was in Derbyshire

Chris | Someone on another forum suggested that it was a Gymnopilus which is what I thought it might be when I first saw it, he said that without a microscope it would be difficult to ID it but I thought that I'd come here and see if any of the helpful people on here may have any ideas.
Thanks for the suggestion fairplay, G.sapineus seems like a reasonable suggestion based on what we have to work on. |

Best to pay heed to what Chris has to say and the colour, especially of the spore print does look quite dodgy.
Can't think what else it could be though.

have you still got the spore print MH?
