Michaelrhizal Posted July 15, 2019 Report Share Posted July 15, 2019 Found a couple of these boletes today out hiking in the mountains of Western NC. They have a light brown cap that is fissured. The pores are yellow and non staining. I don't see any noticeable scabers on the stem. I'm still waiting on a spore print. Best I can guess it is Boletus hortonii. Any help is appreciated.

shroomersue Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 That cap is sure looking like b. Hortoni ..I’d say so. Here’s one i found. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelrhizal Posted July 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 It does look very similar to one you found. Thanks for the help shroomersue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 16, 2019 Report Share Posted July 16, 2019 I'd call this hortonii. Many filed guides list this under "Boletus hortonii". However, the current genus for this species in Xerocomus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarkC Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hello. Not sure anyone will see this since I’m replying to a post from a year ago, but would you agree that these are also hortonii? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michaelrhizal Posted July 8, 2020 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Hi Marc, Based on the pics you posted they sure look like hortonii Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 8, 2020 Report Share Posted July 8, 2020 Once known as Boletus hortonii, and then for a short time Xerocomus hortonii, this species is now placed in genus Hemileccinum. The mushrooms seen throughout this discussion are all Hemileccinum hortonii https://mushroomobserver.org/106506 . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkC Posted July 9, 2020 Report Share Posted July 9, 2020 Thank you guys for responding. I also believe it to be and spoke with someone who is an expert on the Boletus sp and he confirmed the ID. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan Posted July 24, 2020 Report Share Posted July 24, 2020 Heh guess I’ll jump on the bandwagon, found this today, are there any other boletes with similarly brain like caps? Pretty cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 25, 2020 Report Share Posted July 25, 2020 There are a few species of Leccinum that feature wrinkled cap surface and Austroboletus gracilis occasionally has a pitted cap surface. But the reddish cap with deep tight wrinkles is a good indication that you have H. hortonii. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim_B Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 Hope this post is still active. I've been photographing mushrooms and want to hopefully get the correct ID on them. Is this Hemileccinum hortonii? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobby b Posted August 28, 2021 Report Share Posted August 28, 2021 I think that's Leccinellum rugosiceps. Cut the flesh and pale yellow flesh stains pinkish then darkens towards blackish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave W Posted August 29, 2021 Report Share Posted August 29, 2021 As seen if you read through this discussion, "hortonii" has been shuffled from genus Boletus to Xerocomus to Hemileccinum. But this latest photo --posted by Jim_B is not this species. I agree this one is probably a species of Leccinum, but I don't think L. rugosiceps, which should have a yellowish cap. I think Jim's is L. quercophilum https://www.mycoquebec.org/bas.php?trie=L&l=l&nom=Leccinum quercophilum / Bolet des chênaies&tag=Leccinum quercophilum&gro=5 Whatever it is, the scabers on the stalk are formed into a reticulate pattern, unusual in my experience.

Thanks Dave, I was more interested at the time to get a nice photo of this specimen, in hindsight I should've photographed more views including a cutaway view and included location and habitat (Ohio, under large oak trees). Again, I appreciate the help. Didn't know it can get this confusing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
