Leccinum roseoscabrum is a species of bolete fungus characterized by its pinkish to reddish-brown cap, white to pale yellow pores, and scabrous stem. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits in late summer to early fall, often associated with oak trees, particularly live oak and post oak. The cap ranges from 3-8 cm in diameter, and the stem is 4-10 cm tall and 1-2.5 cm thick, covered with reddish-brown to brown scabers.
In East and Central Texas, observations of the fungus Leccinum roseoscabrum have been recorded in specific environments. The bolete mushrooms were found growing on frequently mowed ground in the College Station Cemetery, where live oaks and crape myrtle trees are present. The mushrooms were observed to have scabrous stems and were found with cross sections visible, allowing for closer examination of their internal structure. The sightings occurred on October 25, 2021, in College Station, Texas, suggesting that the species may thrive in this region during the fall season. The presence of live oaks and crape myrtle nearby may indicate a symbiotic relationship between the fungus and these tree species. Overall, the observations provide insight into the habitat and characteristics of Leccinum roseoscabrum in East and Central Texas. The mushrooms' growth patterns and associations with specific tree species are notable features of their occurrence in this region.
