Burnt-orange Bolete
A bolete of eastern North American oak and beech woods with a bright reddish-orange cap that fades to brown and creamy pores that bruise brown. It may represent a complex of closely related species. Its spore print is paler than in most Tylopilus.
Listed as edible but sometimes bitter in Bessette et al., Mushrooms of Northeastern North America (1997); other sources give no edibility data, and the name may cover a species complex. Eat only well-identified specimens. Avoid boletes with red or orange pores or blue-staining flesh, which include poisonous species.
