Orange Birch Bolete? (Leccinum versipelle)
    #20478298 - 08/26/14 06:38 AM (9 years, 5 months ago)

Hello...

A friend of mine picked these mushrooms and I'm trying to help her identify them. After a quick Google search, my identification is Leccinum versipelle, however as I don't pretend to be an expert, I'd like second opinions.

As I didn't pick them I can't give an exact habitat description. A Swedish birch and pine forest in the Autumn after heavy rains.

The spore print is light brown, and they bruise grey to black (obvious in the photographs).

As for the rest of the description ... well, pictures speak a thousand words...

The black squamules and habitat with birch supports your ID. Leccinum aurantiacum can look pretty similar. The latter has to be cooked well.

Here's a couple of more photos. The spore print and the mushroom after it was cut up and boiled a couple of times.

I'm 98% confident on the original ID now...

I don't know if colour on cooking is a useful indicator but they do show the right bruising. :smile:

On wiki it says they go black when cooked.

Heh ... no worries mate. I wouldn't have a clue. First time I've ever seen them (I'm not actually Swedish, I just moved here) so I just Googled them.

I think I'm game to eat them now. Apparently there's no poisonous boletes in Sweden that look anything close to this anyway, so even if the ID is wrong the chances are excellent that it's a good edible mushroom.

I will make a sauce with it tonight.
