Gymnopilus palmicola is a species of mushroom in the family Cortinariaceae.
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]
