Extract from Wikipedia article: Tylopilus atronicotianus, commonly known as the false black velvet bolete, is a bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. First described scientifically in 1998, it is known only from the eastern United States.
Tylopilus atronicotianus is a species of bolete fungus that grows in association with trees, particularly oak and pine. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits from June to October, producing medium-sized, dark brown to black caps with white to grayish pores. The stems are usually stout and reticulate, with a brown to black color. This fungus is commonly found in woodland areas, often in sandy or clay soils, and can be abundant under certain conditions.
Observations of Tylopilus atronicotianus in East and Central Texas reveal distinct characteristics. The cap of the tobacco stain bolete mushroom is notable, with a specific appearance. The underside of the mushroom features large angular pores, which is a distinctive feature of this species. A cross section of the mushroom provides further insight into its internal structure. The observations were made on Richards Loop Trail in Sam Houston National Forest, Texas, on September 25, 2020. The large angular pores and other characteristics observed are consistent with the species Tylopilus atronicotianus. These observations contribute to a better understanding of the morphology and distribution of this fungus in East and Central Texas. The specific details of the mushroom's appearance and structure can aid in identification and further research on this species.
