An unusually colored Gymnopilus of western North American conifer forests, with a dull purplish-red cap mixed with bluish-green, olive or brown tones and yellowish-olive gills that age pinkish cinnamon. It grows on large decaying conifer logs and stumps, often on their undersides, and is more frequent in mature and old-growth forest. Its drab colors and cryptic habit mean it is under-recorded.
Inedible (bitter). Several Gymnopilus species are bitter and some contain psilocybin or other bioactive compounds; this species has no recorded food use.
