How to identify it

Cap

Cap convex to expanded and velvety, dull grey-brown to olive-brown. With age the cap skin cracks.

Underside

Tubes yellow when young, later dull yellow-green. Tube mouths angular and turn blue when pressed.

Stem

Stem dull yellow-brown to grey-brown, sometimes with weak red tones.

Smell

Flesh pale yellow and can be slightly reddish close to the cap skin.

Occurrence and habitat

Grows with oak in broadleaf woodland, pastures and parks in southern and central Sweden.

Look-alike species

Rooting bolete

Xerocomellus chrysenteron

★★★★★

Fair edible mushroom

A similar species; the rooting bolete can often show reddish colour in the cap flesh and in the cap cracks.

Preparation

Edible, but the stem easily becomes woody and should therefore not be used. Use the softer cap parts.

Recipe suggestions

Fry young caps in butter with garlic and parsley. Serve as a side dish or on toast.
