Leccinum
Species not identified








The main distinguishing feature of Leccinum is the small, rigid projections (scabers) that give a rough texture to their stalks.

The genus name comes from the Italian word "leccino", indicating a type of rough-stemmed bolete.

The scabers typically become brown or black by the time the mushroom is mature (though in a few species the scabers are light in color, reddish, or nearly invisible to the naked eye).

Scabers are different from glandular dots and reticulation that are in other bolets. .

From MushroomExpert.com
Like other boletes, Leccinum are soft-fleshed mycorrhizal partners with trees (and shrubs), featuring tubes and pores on the underside of a cap that sits atop a central stem. ....

Their stature and colors are somehow distinctive. But while recognizing that a bolete is a Leccinum is usually relatively easy, figuring out what species you have found can be truly frustrating.

The underside of the cap is a series of tubes like other Boletes.
