Scientific name

Pale broth from Ukraine

The pale boletus ( Hemileccinum impolitum , syn .: Boletus impolitus ) is a rare, edible mushroom from the family of boletus relatives (Boletaceae). It grows under oak trees ( Quercus ). Because of the smell that arises when it is cut open, it is called “iodine bolete” in English.

features

Macroscopic features

The hat is hemispherical at first, but flattens out with age and is sometimes depressed when fully grown. It is pale brown, slightly light brown or yellow-brown, and often a pale gray initially. The hat diameter is usually between 5 and 12 cm, but can reach up to 20 cm. The tubes and tube openings are pale or lemon to golden yellow, whereby the tube openings are small and round and do not turn blue. The tubular sponge is 5–20 mm thick, bulged and easily removable. The spore powder is colored olive-like, walnut brown. The stem becomes 5–15 cm long and 2–5 cm wide with a bulbous shape that is slightly thickened at the base. The lower end is pointed and not rooted. It is (pale) yellow to yellow-brown and often has a more or less intense reddish tinge. It has no stem net, but sometimes has reddish spots. The flesh is pale yellow and remains the same color when cut open. It is tender, tastes mild to slightly sour and has a sour, iodine or carbolic smell in the base.

Microscopic features

The spores measure 10-16 x 5-6 micrometers.

Species delimitation

The rooting bitter boletus ( Boletus radicans ) is very similar and can also be found with oaks. He has a lighter hat, but his tubes turn blue when injured. It is not edible. The bitter and inedible boletus calopus ( Boletus calopus ) has a clearly recognizable network structure and is more red in color on the lower part of its stem.

Distribution, ecology and phenology

The species is widespread in Europe and is rare and worth protecting. It prefers a mild climate and is mainly found in southern Europe. It lives preferentially in calcareous soils in deciduous forests and parks, in mycorrhizal communities with oaks ( Quercus ), hornbeams ( Carpinus ) or red beeches ( Fagus sylvatica ) and has also been found among pines ( Pinus ). The fungus develops solitary to gregarious fruiting bodies mainly from June to October and in Central Europe sometimes from the end of May. In southern England it occurs only occasionally, only under oak trees and - depending on the weather conditions - fruit in two or three waves from June to September.

Systematics and taxonomy

" Impolitus " is Latin and means "unpolished", "matt", "unpolished" or "unfinished" and could represent a reference to the hammered appearance of some specimens. The first scientific description is taken from the 1838 released "epicrisis systematis mycologici" work of Elias Magnus Fries , of the kind of the kind of boletus ( Boletus zuordnete). Current investigations initially suggested that the species is attributable to the actual felt tubers ( Xerocomus ) around the goat lip ( Xerocomus subtomentosus ). Josef Šutara finally separated the species in 2008 together with the spotted boletus ( Boletus depilatus ) into the new genus Hemileccinum .

meaning

Dried fruit bodies

The pale boletus is edible and mild, but due to its rarity it should not be collected for food in the interests of species conservation.
