Pic 1 with flash
Pics 2-5 with 365nm UV light
Pic 6 with natural lighting - on dusk so lighting very poor
I only noticed these as I was walking around with my UV torch and from a distance the pileus was strongly fluorescent

Poisonous - Orange web caps
The key differences between Gymnopilus sapineus (scaly rustgill) and orange webcap mushrooms (Cortinarius species) are:
- Genus: G. sapineus belongs to the genus Gymnopilus, while orange webcaps belong to the genus Cortinarius.
- Habitat: G. sapineus grows on dead coniferous wood like pine logs, whereas orange webcaps are mycorrhizal and grow on the ground in forests.
- Edibility: G. sapineus is considered inedible due to its bitter taste, while orange webcap species like Cortinarius rubellus and C. orellanus are deadly poisonous and should not be consumed under any circumstances.
- Toxicity: G. sapineus lacks toxic compounds and is non-poisonous, but orange webcaps contain toxins like orellanine that can cause kidney and liver failure if ingested
- Appearance: G. sapineus has a dry, scaly orange-brown cap, while orange webcaps like C. rubellus have a slimy, glutinous orange cap surface.
- Gills: G. sapineus has crowded, rusty orange gills, while webcaps have rusty brown to orange gills attached to the stem in a webbing pattern.
- Psychoactive properties: incorrectly states G. sapineus contains the hallucinogen psilocybin, while the other sources do not mention any psychoactive compounds in either species.
