The bile tubers ( Tylopilus ) are a genus of mushrooms from the family of the thick tubers relatives . In Central Europe there is only one species, the common bile boletus ( T. felleus ), and the mild-tasting variety alutarius , the mild bile boletus . The representatives of the genus are considered inedible. Previously, the bile Suillus belonged to the genus of Boletus ( Boletus ).
features
Except for the whitish tubes, which turn pink very quickly with age, the very long-drawn net on the handle and the very bitter taste of the meat, the bile tubers have most of the characteristics of the thick tubers .
ecology
The bile tubers are widespread in the temperate zone, mycorrhizal partners of conifers , and clearly prefer acidic, nutrient-poor soils ( swamps , moors , heather ). The bile tubers are also found in deciduous forests, especially on and on rotten tree stumps.
meaning
The bile tubers are considered inedible. A single fruiting body can completely spoil an entire meal because of the bitterness. Stomach and intestinal problems cannot be ruled out either.
