Hemileccinum hortonii, sometimes called Corrugated Bolete or Horton's Bolete, is a fungus of the genus Hemileccinum.
Taxonomy
First described as variety corrugis of Boletus subglabripes by Charles Horton Peck in 1897, it was given its current name in 1971 by mycologists Alexander H. Smith and Harry Delbert Thiers.[2]
Description
The brownish cap is 3–12 centimetres (1+1⁄4–4+3⁄4 in) wide. The stem is 4–10 cm (1+1⁄2–4 in) tall and 1–2.5 cm (1⁄2–1 in) thick. The flesh is whitish and can stain light blue. The spore print is olive brown.[3]
Similar species
It resembles Boletus separans, Leccinum crocipodium, and L. rugosiceps.[3] Hemileccinum subglabripes is similar, but differs by having a relatively smooth cap and a stem covered in tiny yellow scabers.
Distribution and habitat
The species can be found in the eastern United States from June to August. It grows under hardwood, mostly oak.[3]
