Common name: long-legged white foot bolete.
Boletus longiniveipes is a species of bolete fungus characterized by its brown to reddish-brown cap, white to yellowish pores, and slender, elongated stem. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits in late summer to early fall, often in association with oak trees, particularly live oak and post oak. The fungus can be found in a variety of habitats, including woodland edges, savannas, and along roadsides, where it tends to grow singly or in small groups. Specimens from this region usually have caps ranging from 3-8 cm in diameter and stems that are 6-12 cm long and 0.5-1.5 cm thick.
