eat-bolete Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Only oaks around. Tastes very slightly bitter. Worms really devoured it. Pores’s shape is quite irregular. I found about 10 of them, all look very much like photos show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 I guess it belongs to the species Scutiger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eat-bolete Posted October 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Boletopsis subsquamosa I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 On mycobank.org it says Boletopsis subsquamosa "The species can be recognized in the field by its fleshy and generally grayish fruitbodies, unlike any species in Albatrellus." Is it fleshy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eat-bolete Posted October 15, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Yes it is fleshy. Very robust mushroom. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroomersue Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Could be old old albatrellus? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattVa Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 EB,I believe you might have it with Boletopsis subsquamosa . Never seen it personally though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eat-bolete Posted October 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 Thanks Matt, first timefind for me. went to a new spot, same trees but different mushrooms. shroomersue, I found about 10, of different maturity stages, all with same color scheme, couldn’t find an Albatrellus in the books or online that looks like that.

shroomersue Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I found something similar under oaks this year. Presumed albetrellus. The graying aging tops threw me, they look similar to your find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 18, 2018 Report Share Posted October 18, 2018 Maybe eat-bolete's mushrooms are a species of Albatrellus. A. caeruleoporus is blue/bluish, but is said to grow only under conifers. Spore print is white for Albatrellus mushrooms. But I would not count out Boletopsis, maybe B. griseus... except B. griseus is also found with conifers. Boletopsis have pale brown spore prints. Not sure what to say about this one.

eat-bolete Posted October 20, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 It’ll stay a mystery until I find them again as no spores dropped at all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattVa Posted October 20, 2018 Report Share Posted October 20, 2018 That's a shame. I was curious as to what the final conclusion would be after the print. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 21, 2018 Report Share Posted October 21, 2018 Eat-bolete, if you like, I'll load the photos and use to make a Mushroom Observer post. Somebody out there may know what it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eat-bolete Posted October 24, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2018 Thanks Dave I will. found this post from 2011, which looks quite like the ones I found, maybe just a younger specimen. https://mushroomobserver.org/observer/show_observation/76266 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 25, 2018 Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 Does look somewhat like B. grisea. But this species is regarded as a conifer associate, which is also a problem with several of the other ID suggestions. Are you sure there aren't a few small pines mixed in with the oaks?

eat-bolete Posted October 25, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2018 I wouldn’t rule that out Dave. I haven’t seen any but doesn’t mean they weren’t there haha. Planning to go back there possibly next week, I’ll try to find the spot and check on trees more carefully. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
