, boletinoid pore surface that begins to run down the stem and bruises slowly brown to reddish brown. the apex ofthe stem is widely reticulate with a brown reticulum. it can be similar in general appearance to xerocomus subtomentosus , but that species is usually larger and has a pore surface that turns...
