Gomphidius subroseus, family Gomphidiaceae. The order Boletales originally was created to describe boletes, but based on micromorphological and molecular phylogenetic characteristics, a large number of nonbolete species have recently been reclassified to belong to this group, as well. [2]
Common names include Jersey cow mushroom, bovine bolete, [9] and euro cow bolete. [10] One proposed origin for the scientific name is that medieval knights—who revered Tricholoma equestre—considered this mushroom fit only for cattle-drovers as it was not highly valued. [11] The mushroom's colour is similar to that of a Jersey cow. [12]
Boletus nobilis, the noble bolete, is a species of edible basidiomycete mushroom of the genus Boletus found in eastern United States. Morphologically close to Boletus edulis , it is distinguished by an elongated stem, a beige skin and white pores, even when old.
[9] [10] Another parasitic bolete is Buchwaldoboletus lignicola, which is a parasite to Phaeolus schweinitzii, the dyer's polypore. [11] Satan's bolete (Rubroboletus satanas) is a very poisonous mushroom. Boletes are susceptible to infection by the fungus Hypomyces chrysospermus, also known as the bolete eater. [12] [13]
Described as new to science in 1971, it is commonly known as the manzanita bolete for its usual mycorrhizal association with manzanita trees. Its fruit bodies (mushrooms) have sticky reddish to brown caps up to 20 cm (8 in), and its stipes are up to 16 cm (6.3 in) long and 3.5 cm (1.4 in) thick.
This species was for a long time highly regarded as one of the tastier edible species (and in some guides still is), [5] and sold in European markets; medieval French knights allegedly reserved this species for themselves, leaving the lowly bovine bolete (Suillus bovinus) for the peasants. [6] Concern was first raised in southwestern France.
Leccinum scabrum, commonly known as the rough-stemmed bolete, scaber stalk, and birch bolete, is an edible mushroom in the family Boletaceae, and was formerly classified as Boletus scaber. The birch bolete is widespread in Europe, in the Himalayas in Asia, and elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere , occurring only in mycorrhizal association with ...
Suillus grevillei can be cooked as an edible mushroom (without consistency nor flavor) if the slimy cuticle is removed off the cap. [ 6 ] [ 3 ] This mucousy skin layer is what is known to cause intestinal issues, as is the case with several other Suillus such as Slippery Jack ( S. luteus ) or Jill ( S. salmonicolor ) ; often considered to be ...
