Taxonomy

edit

Originally described by Charles Horton Peck as a species of Boletus, and, after 1945, usually considered a species of Leccinum, it was transferred to the newly created genus Leccinellum in 2003.[1] The bolete was reported from a Mexican beech (Fagus mexicana) forest in Hidalgo, Mexico in 2010.[2]

The light brown cap is 3–7 centimetres (1+142+34 in) wide. The stem is 5–9 cm (2–3+12 in) tall and 7–15 millimetres (1412 in) thick. The flesh is whitish and the spore print is olive brown.[3]
