Synonym: Boletus chrysenteroides.
Extract from Wikipedia article: Boletellus chrysenteroides is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae. It was first described as Boletus chrysenteroides by mycologist Wally Snell in 1936. Snell later (1941) transferred the species to Boletellus.
Boletellus chrysenteroides is a species of bolete fungus that typically grows on the ground in association with oak trees. In East and Central Texas, it can be found fruiting from May to October, often in sandy or clay soils under live oak or post oak. The cap is 3-8 cm wide, reddish-brown to brown, and sometimes cracked, while the pores are yellow to golden yellow, becoming olive-yellow with age. The stem is typically equal in width throughout, yellow to brown, and reticulate near the apex. This fungus is considered edible, but caution is advised due to potential confusion with poisonous lookalikes.
