Description

Genus: Tylopilus

Species: griseocarneus

Common Name:

Tells: Oft-wavy, dark (reddish brown to blackish) cap. Dark pores stain grayish orange, or in age a darker gray. Grayish cap flesh bruises orange-gray, resolving black.

Other Information: Grayish- to brownish-black stem may pale by the pores & is well-netted, esp. going up. Cap may crack or fissure w/age. Likes oak or pine in sandy soil. Pink to pinkish-gray or deep flesh-color spore print.

Edibility: The books say “unknown,” but it has earned a bad reputation among knowledgeable people in several areas where it grows. It is being downgraded here until evidence to the contrary arises.
