AI-generated description

Buchwaldoboletus lignicola is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Boletaceae. It is a wood-inhabiting bolete that grows on decaying logs and stumps, typically in association with coniferous trees. In East and Central Texas, Buchwaldoboletus lignicola has been found to fruit from May to October, with a peak in summer months. The fungus produces small to medium-sized caps that are reddish-brown to brown in color, and pores that are yellow to olive-yellow. It is considered a rare species in the region, but can be locally common in areas with abundant coniferous debris.

AI-generated summary of observations

In East and Central Texas, specifically in the Sam Houston National Forest, observations of Buchwaldoboletus lignicola were recorded. The fungus was found near pine stumps, often associated with Velvet-top fungus (Phaeolus schweinitzii). On September 25, 2020, multiple sightings occurred on Richards Loop Trail, including near a burnt pine stump and an ash pit. Dissected specimens were also observed. A year later, on October 13, 2021, the fungus was again spotted near a burned pine, with detailed observations of its underside and cross-section. These findings suggest that Buchwaldoboletus lignicola thrives in areas with decaying wood, particularly pine, and can be found in association with other fungi species. The consistent presence of the fungus in this region over time indicates a stable habitat for the species.
