Shaggy-stalked bolete
Heimioporus betula
A species of Heimioporus.
Heimioporus betula, commonly known as the shaggy-stalked bolete, is readily recognizable by its distinctively rugged stipe, marked with deep crevices that evoke the look of a birch tree's flaking bark. Although its cap presents a rather unremarkable, medium-sheen, dark brown hue, its vibrant yellow underside, dotted with prominent pores, offers a striking contrast.
