Description

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]

gollark: But that is... absolutely not the case.
gollark: I mean, yes, if you already trust everyone to act sensibly and without doing bad stuff, then privacy doesn't matter for those reasons.
gollark: Oh, and as an extension to the third thing, if you already have some sort of vast surveillance apparatus, even if you trust the government of *now*, a worse government could come along and use it later for... totalitarian things.
