Gymnopilus validipes is a species of mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae. It was first described scientifically by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1917. The species is found in North America, where it grows on decaying wood.

Taxonomy[edit | edit source]

The species was first described in the scientific literature by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1917. The specific epithet validipes is derived from the Latin words validus ("strong") and pes ("foot"), referring to the sturdy stipe of the mushroom.

Description[edit | edit source]

The cap of Gymnopilus validipes is convex to broadly convex, and reaches diameters of 3–7 cm. The cap surface, initially smooth, becomes finely scaly in age. It is orange to rusty brown, often with a paler margin. The gills are crowded together closely, and have an adnate to adnexed attachment to the stipe. They are initially yellow before turning rusty brown as the spores mature. The cylindrical stipe measures 4–8 cm long by 0.5–1 cm thick, and has a more or less equal width throughout its length. It is solid (i.e., not hollow), and has a rusty brown color.

Habitat and distribution[edit | edit source]

Gymnopilus validipes is a saprophytic species that grows on decaying wood. It has been recorded in North America.
