The gills look right, but the caps look very dry (and possibly showing up darker than usual) and the stipes look very pale in relation to the caps.
Maybe someone with more experience of these will comment further.
Regards,
Mike. |

Regards,
Mike. | exactly why I haven't commented - this area of Gymnopilus is complicated at the best of times - I'm not convinced by some of the distinctions, but the width of the cap hyphae seems to be critical (can't see them here of course)

It's the way the fungus has been eased out with the whole base intact that has put me off replying, even when growing on extremely damp and rotten wood, I find G.penetrans difficult to remove without the base breaking off or rather remain embedded in the substrate.

thanks for the replies,
regarding the stems being easily detached from the substrate,
i cannot vouch for that, as this was how i found the fungi,
someone else had obviously found the fungi beforehand and had removed a couple of the fruit bodies for examination,
as for the colour being a little darker than normal, the caps were actually a brighter shade of red than the picture depicts,
the stipes also look wrong for penetrans too (to me anyhow) as they are much stouter than penetrans usually are and also seem whiter,

someone has suggested to me that it may be conifer roundhead stropharia hornemannii
but my phillips book has that species having a prominent ring,which mine does not appear to have,
so i am still unsure of what the thing is ?
