Caloboletus conifericola, commonly known as the dark bitter bolete,[1] is a species of mushroom in the family Boletaceae. It is found in the Pacific Northwest.[2]
Taxonomy
Caloboletus conifericola was first described by Alfredo Vizzini in 2014.[1][3]
Description
The cap of Caloboletus conifericola is grayish-brown to olive gray[4] and about 3-10 inches (7-25 cm) across.[1] The stipe is about 2-10 inches (5-15 cm) long and about 1-2 inches wide at the top. It starts out wider at the base, but more or less evens out as the mushroom grows older.[1] The pore surface is yellow, and the mushroom oxidizes blue when bruised.[1]
Similar species
Caloboletus conifericola can be confused with Caloboletus calopus and Caloboletus frustuosus. Caloboletus calopus has a more reticulated stipe than C. conifericola,[2] and C. frustulosus has a more cracked cap.[4][2]
Habitat and ecology
Caloboletus conifericola is found in moss and leaf litter under conifer trees, especially grand fir and western hemlock.[1][2] It is found fruiting during early fall, soon after the rains come.[1]
