Leccinum albostipitatum
Foraging: Never eat a wild mushroom on a photo or an app’s word. Many deadly species look like edible ones.
About
Leccinum albostipitatum is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. This large, orange-capped mushroom forms beneficial relationships with poplar trees across Europe. First described scientifically in 2005, it was previously confused with similar orange species but can be distinguished by its white stipe with fine scales that darken with age and its flesh that changes colour when cut. The mushroom grows in poplar stands and mixed forests throughout Scandinavia and mountainous areas of central Europe.
