Common Name:

Tells: White/buff cap ages to brownish & stains cinnamon-brown. White flesh may stain pinkish-brownish, often smells like bleach, & tastes bitter.

Other Information: Whitish pores age pinkish & bruise brown. Cap colored stem may bruise brown. Likes open ground near oaks or pines. Spores are creamy and not pink, which is unusual for a tylopilus.

FeSO4 (Iron Salts): Cap skin turns dark blue green. Cap flesh immediately turns dark bluish gray.
