Found under pine (Bishop pine in photo) is this medium-sized Gymnopilus with streaked orangish to yellow-orange caps that can reach 11cm. Caps are dry and may have adhering veil remnants. They grow on wood chips, woody debris and twigs or stumps, sometimes in groups or scattered. The gills are close, attached by a notch to stipe and yellow to beige-yellow or brownish in age. The gill margins typically are pale. The stipes are usually white to beige and often longitudinally streaked, cylindrical and enlarging at the base. Curved stipes are typical. They may reach 13 cm in length. Their is a white partial veil that often leaves a ring zone on the upper stipe. Spores are orangey brown. There is no odor but the taste, as with all Gymnopilus species, is strongly bitter.
