Description
Name in North American Boletes: Boletus floridanus
Genus: Exsudoporus
- Genus 2: Butyriboletus
- Genus 3: Boletus
Species: floridanus
- Species 2: frostii var. floridanus
Common Name:
Tells: Viscid red cap. Yellow cap flesh blues. Red stem very netted, esp. high up. Red or orange-red pores stain blue, w/yellow drops on babies.
Other Information: Likes sandy soil under oaks and sometimes pine. A red-pored, blue-staining, but very edible mushroom. Has an acidic tang when cooked. A southern equivalent to But. frostii.
Science Notes: DNA testing and its odd features moved this mushroom and frostii into a newly erected genus called “Exsudoporus” (“exsudo” from the droplets in young pores). It has since flip-flopped into the closely related Butyriboletus genus, and then been restored.
Edibility: Good.
CHEMICAL TESTS:
- NH4OH (Ammonia): Cap surface turns black.
- KOH: No data.
- FeSO4 (Iron Salts): No data.
