Description

Genus: Boletus

Genus 2: Neoboletus

Species: fagicola

Species 2: spraguei

Common Name:

Tells: Brownish pores are bright yellow by the edge & stain dark blue. Yellow flesh quickly blues. Yellow stem w/ brown/gray powder-spots is well-netted, esp. toward the top, & bruises brown.

Other Information: Well netted stem usually has red at the bottom. Cap may crack in age. Likes oak & beech. NOTE: B. vermiculosus & vermiculosoides can share the brown coloration, but lack the well-netted stem. B. subgraveolens has no reticulation but can be hard to tell apart other than that.

Science Notes: DNA testing strongly suggests a move to the genus Neoboletus, but no peer reviewed paper has been published.

Edibility: Good.

CHEMICAL TESTS:

NH4OH (Ammonia): No data.
KOH: Cap flesh turns orange. Pores stain dark brown.
FeSO4 (Iron Salts): No data.
