Gymnopilus fulgens is a species of mushroom in the family Hymenogastraceae. It was given its current name by mycologist Rolf Singer in 1951.[1]
The cap is 0.5 to 2.5 centimetres (0.2 to 1.0 in) in diameter.[2]
Gymnopilus fulgens grows among moss, on peaty soil, charred sphagnum, or burned-over soil. In the United States, it has been collected in Michigan, but it has also been found in Europe. It fruits from June to September.[2]
