These fungi are growing on decaying wood. They are a gold/orange color. The spore print was dark yellow orange. The microscopic pictures show the spores. They are more of an ellipse shape than spherical. They also seem to be slightly concave.

The ITS sequencing confirmed my identification of the genus as Gymnopilus. The first matches were Gymnopilus dilepis and then Gymnopilus lepidotus. After researching both, I think the features of G. lepidotus more closely align with this specimen, but I am not certain about this.
