Description

Name in North American Boletes: Boletus roxanae

Genus: Aureoboletus

Genus 2: Boletus
Genus 3: Xercomus

Species: roxanae

Common Name:

Tells: Grainy cap smooths a bit w/age. Pale cap flesh DNS & can have an unpleasant taste. White pores age yellow, & stain cinnamon. Yellow-orange, lined stem w/orange band on top.

Other Information: Likes oaks, but most typically in oak-pine woods. Go figure. Cap starts anywhere from yellow-brown to rusty red & fades toward dull orange-yellow to orange-brown, & is typically lighter at the edges. Flesh can be white or pale yellow. Stem flesh may be slightly pink.

Science Notes: DNA testing moved this mushroom into the newly erected genus “Aureoboletus” (“Aureo” from the characteristic sunny-yellow pores).

Edibility: It’s said to be edible enough, but not anything special. And why bother if it tastes bad to begin with?

CHEMICAL TESTS:

NH4OH (Ammonia): No data.
KOH: Cap flesh turns pale brown.
FeSO4 (Iron Salts): No data.
