Gymnopilus palmicola is a species of mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae.

Description

[edit]

The cap is 2 to 5 centimetres (0.8 to 2.0 in) in diameter.[1]

This species does not stain blue and therefore probably does not contain hallucinogenic compounds.[2]

Habitat and distribution

[edit]

Gymnopilus palmicola grows on palm logs and on living orchids. It has been found in Cuba, Mexico, and Florida between March and September.[1]
