Small Bolete?


Recommended Posts

I'd bet this is one of the species generally lumped into the Gyroporus castaneus concept. (Recent research has produced a few new species names.) If correct, then the stalk should snap apart like a piece of chalk. The extreior layer of the G. castaneus stalk is brittle and, when young, the interior is stuffed with a soft cottony pith. Mature G. castaneus has stalk with (partially) hollow interior. 

Is "western NC" North Carolina?
