Pluteus leoninus (Schaeff.) P. Kumm.

Pluteus leoninus, commonly known as the lion pluteus or lion shield, can occasionally be found growing on dead wood in Europe and North Africa. The underside of the cap is typical of the genus Pluteus — the gills are pale, soon becoming pink when the spores ripen. But the upper surface is a bright tawny or olivaceous yellow. The species name leoninus refers to this cap colour.
