About
Gymnopilus purpuratus is a species of agaric fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae. It grows in clusters on dead wood, tree stumps and wood chip mulch. It is widely distributed and has been recorded in Argentina, Australia, Chile, New Zealand, the UK and Germany. It has a broadly convex cap covered in small dry reddish-brown scales, a stout yellow stem beneath reddish brown, wine-red to purple vertical fibres, and a thick rusty orange spore print.

How to use it
Gymnopilus purpuratus plays an important ecological role by decomposing dead wood and recycling nutrients back into the soil. This helps maintain healthy forest ecosystems and supports the growth of other plants.
