Description

Genus: Pulchroboletus

Species: pseudosclerotiorum (provisional name, which will hopefully change before publication)

Common Name:

Tells: Peachy orange-red cap. Yellow pores bruise blue, evolving to brown. Pithy and/or marbled stem flesh bruises more intensely by the base.

Other Information: Yellow, blue bruising stem typically has cap-colored streaks made of tightly packed dots. The flesh often appears to be red rather than blue in older species, probably due to slow oxidation before it was picked. This relatively new species appears to have a broad range, so expect the regional filters to expand over time as confirmed finds come in. Secret Tell: experiments by several good identifiers confirm that a slice will turn brilliant red/orange when placed on a hot pan. Startling!

Edibility: Good

Science Notes: While still a provisional name, the existence of this species has been confirmed multiple times by DNA testing, including whole genome testing at the Dentinger lab.

CHEMICAL TESTS:

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