Common Name: “Bluing Gilled Bolete”

Other Information: Phy. leucomycelinus does not bruise blue in any part. Beyond that they are very hard to tell apart.

Science Notes: Boletes of Eastern North America merges this subspecies with regular rhodoxanthus. It will take DNA testing to confirm how close together they really are.

Edibility: Good.

NH4OH (Ammonia): No data.
KOH: Cap and stem skin turn light orange brown. Gills turn dark brown.
FeSO4 (Iron Salts): No data.
