Extract from Wikipedia article: Gymnopilus sapineus, commonly known as scaly rustgill, is a small and widely distributed mushroom which grows in dense clusters on dead conifer wood. It has a rusty orange spore print and a bitter taste. It is unclear at this time whether this species or its relatives contain the hallucinogen psilocybin.
Gymnopilus sapineus is a species of mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae. It is found in coniferous forests of northern Europe, including north-western Russia. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically grows on pine and spruce trees, often in association with decaying wood or soil rich in organic matter. The cap is 3-8 cm in diameter, reddish-brown to orange-brown, and covered with fine scales. The gills are yellowish to greenish-yellow, and the spores are rusty brown. Fruitings occur from August to November, with peak activity in September and October.
