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