Gyroporus Cyanescens

Recommended Posts

Hi folks,

I have never collected these for eating but have read that they are a good edible.

looking for confirmation on ID and any experience with eating them.

Thick white stem, snaps easily like a Russula. White pores, white flesh. Everything turns indigo blue immediately after handling. No distinctive smell or taste.

Thanks

One of the easier boletes to learn to ID. The brittle stalk is a god indicator, as well as the vivid blue staining. Also, the interior of the stalk consists of a "stuffed chamber" that eventually becomes fairly hollow. IMO this species is a very good edible.
