Peck

The picture shows an immature specimen of a rarely collected bolete, characterized by a brown pileus and yellow, finely reticulated stipe. The context is yellow and usually does not change color when exposed. In rare cases there may be a very slight bluing present. It appears to be related to B. appendiculatus (Schaeffer) and B. speciosus (Frost). For a comparison with other taxa see Baroni (1998, Bull. Buffalo Soc. Nat. Sci. 36: 245-255).
