Taxonomy
editOriginally 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]
Description
editThe light brown cap is 3–7 centimetres (1+1⁄4–2+3⁄4 in) wide. The stem is 5–9 cm (2–3+1⁄2 in) tall and 7–15 millimetres (1⁄4–1⁄2 in) thick. The flesh is whitish and the spore print is olive brown.[3]
Similar species
editIt can resemble Boletus barrowsii, Gyroporus subalbellus, Imleria pallida, Leccinum holopus, Tylopilus rhoadsiae, and Xanthoconium stramineum.[3]
Distribution and habitat
editFrom July to September, it can be found in eastern North America under hardwood, especially oak.[3]
