Gymnopilus sapineus, commonly known as Scaly Rustgill, is a small and widely distributed mushroom which grows in dense clusters on dead conifer wood. It has a rusty orange spore print and a bitter taste. It is unclear at this time whether this species or its relatives contain the hallucinogen psilocybin.
