Porphyrellus indecisus, commonly known as the indecisive bolete,[1] is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae native to North America. It was described in 1888 by Charles Horton Peck.[2]
Taxonomy
This species was first described by Charles Horton Peck in 1888 as Boletus indecisus.[2] In 1909, William Murrill used the name Tylopilus indecisus to refer to this species.[3] The current name was first used by Édouard-Jean Gilbert in 1931.[2]
Description
Fruiting bodies of Porphyrellus indecisus have convex to flat, brown caps that are about 2-10 inches (5-25 cm) in diameter. The surface of the cap is often smooth and dry.[1] The pores are small at first, but get larger as the mushroom ages.[4] The stipe is sometimes, but not always, thicker at the base.[1][4] The spore print is pinkish-tan to reddish-brown, sometimes with a vinaceous tinge.[1][4]
Edibility
Porphyrellus indecisus is edible.[1][4]
