features
Macroscopic features
The small to medium-sized fruit bodies are divided into a hat and stem and have a tubular layer. The hat has a felt to bare, dry to slightly sticky surface. The tube layer is bulged on the stem and has a yellow to olive-green color. The spore powder leaves an olive-brown imprint. The stem surface is smooth to frosted, striated across or occasionally moistened. The yellowish flesh ( trama ) often shows reddish tones in the stem base. On pressure or in the event of injury, it immediately turns dark indigo blue to blue-black. The taste is mild.
Microscopic features
The spores are smooth and elliptical to elliptical-spindle-shaped. The cystids have a cylindrical-spindle-shaped to inflated spindle-shaped or bottle-like shape. The hat cover layer ( Pileipellis ) is a trichoderm. The different bilateral hymenophoral trama and the lateral stalk layer correspond to the boletus type. The meat is inamyloid . Buckle connections on the partitions ( septa ) of the fungal threads ( hyphae ) are missing.
ecology
Cyanoboletus species form ectomycorrhiza with various deciduous and coniferous trees.
