Description

Genus: Chalciporus

Genus 2: Boletus

Species: piperatoides

Common Name:

Tells: Slow, acrid flavor. Pinkish to yellowish buff-brown flesh, usually blues esp. by the tubes. Yellow pores age to copper & stain blackish blue. Bright yellow mycelium.

Other Information: Viscid, variable-colored cap. Chal. piperatus is very similar but its pores do not stain & the flavor is even harsher.

Edibility: Unknown, but doubtful. I’m a chili-head and still find this flavor unpleasant.

CHEMICAL TESTS:

NH4OH (Ammonia): No data.
KOH: Cap skin turns dark rusty-brown or black. Cap flesh turns dull brown to purplish red or gray.
FeSO4 (Iron Salts): No data.
