Description

Genus: Boletus

Genus 2: Aureoboletus?

Species: projectelloides

Common Name: Long-legged White Foot

Tells: Pinkish, somewhat wooly cap aging from incurved to flat. Yellow pores age darker & bruise reddish brown, not blue. Likes pine. Long stem w/no netting.

Other Information: White to pale yellow flesh. A southern lookalike for the common Northeastern bolete Aureoboletus projectellus.

Science Notes: DNA testing moved this mushroom into the newly erected genus “Aureoboletus” (“Aureo” from the characteristic sunny-yellow pores). Reports have been received that this species has hopped the pond and can now be found in Europe too, particularly along the Baltic Sea but with a range that spreads hundreds of miles inland.

Edibility: Good. Reported to be much better when fresh.

CHEMICAL TESTS:

NH4OH (Ammonia): Cap surface stains dark olive. Flesh stains very pale blue.
KOH: Cap surface stains dark maroon to reddish brown. Flesh flashes olive then evolves to dark amber.
FeSO4 (Iron Salts): Cap surface shows no reaction. Flesh stains faintly grayish olive.
