Perfumed bolete
Rubroboletus rhodosanguineus
A species of Rubroboletus.
Hailing from North America, the perfumed bolete is a type of bolete mushroom that exhibits a blue discoloration when its tissues are cut, bruised, or otherwise damaged. The blue coloration develops quite gradually on the cap but much more rapidly on the stem. Its internal flesh is reported to exude an agreeable aroma, often compared to that of very ripe fruit.
