Tylopilus alboater, formerly Boletus alboater, is a fungus of the bolete family, found in Northern Europe and North America. It is also known as the black velvet bolete (T. alboater) and is edible and tasty, but often ignored.[1]
Taxonomy
[edit]The species was first described in the scientific literature as Boletus felleus by Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard in 1788. It derives its specific name from the Latin fel meaning "bile" referring to its bitter taste, similar to bile. A subspecies in the Great Lakes region, var. uliginosus, was recognised by Smith and Thiers in 1971.[2]
Description
[edit]Up to 15 cm wide, the cap is grey yellow to pale brown. It is slightly downy at first, but is later smooth. The stalk is lighter, and covered with a coarse brown network.[3] Like most boletes it lacks a ring, and it may be distinguished from Boletus edulis by its unusual pink pores. The flesh is white or creamy, and pink beneath the cap cuticle. The pores bruise brownish, and it gives a pink to vinaceous spore print.[3]
