Aureoboletus flaviporus, commonly known as the viscid bolete, is a species of bolete fungus. From 1905 until 2010, its binomial name was Boletus flaviporus.[2]
Description
[edit]The reddish-brown cap is convex, sticky-slimy, and up to 15 cm (6 in) wide.[3][4] The pores are neon yellow.[3] The stem is up to 15 cm long and 3 cm thick.[3][4] The flesh does not stain blue when damaged.[3] It has an acidic and lemony flavour.[5] The spore print is olive-brown.[3]
Similar species
[edit]Aureoboletus auriporus is the most similar species in the genus.[4] A. viridiflavus is similar as well.[3]
Distribution and habitat
[edit]The species is found in western North America, where it grows in ectomycorrhizal association with coast live oak, madrone, manzanita,[3] and possibly with tanoak.[5] In California, this mushroom appears during the rainy season (November to February) as far north as Mendocino County.[4][5] The species is common but does not appear in large groupings, only as one-offs or small clusters in scattered locations.[3]
Uses
[edit]The quality of the edible mushroom has been described as mediocre[3] because of poor flavor and texture.[5]
