Description

Genus: Boletus

Species: pseudopinophilus

Common Name:

Tells: Conspicuous white netting darkens when handled. Reddish-brown, oft-wrinkled cap. Grows under pine. White cap flesh can have a reddish-brown zone near the cap skin.

Other Information: “B. subcaerulescens that has no lemon smell, does not bruise blue at all, and grows under pine (which subcaerulescens will also do on occasion just to be annoying.” Creamy pores DNS, & age through darkening yellow toward brown. Stem broadens going down, sometimes even to bulbous. Widely distributed throughout the Southeast.

Science Notes: It took DNA to prove this was a new species rather than a version of the European B. pinophilus. Some issues have arisen regarding the appropriate name due to what seems to be confused samples at the herbarium level. We are sticking with the current name until all questions have been resolved.

Edibility: Choice.

CHEMICAL TESTS:

NH4OH (Ammonia): No data.
KOH: No data.
FeSO4 (Iron Salts): No data.
