Boletus subalpinus


Boletus subalpinus, commonly known as the gasteroid king bolete, is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae. The species was first described scientifically in 1969 by American mycologists Harry Delbert Thiers and James M. Trappe. It was originally named as a species of Gastroboletus but was found to be in Boletus sensu stricto in a 2013 molecular phylogenetics study.
The cap is wide, buff, convex and then flattening. The flesh is whitish, staining bluish or sometimes pink. The pores are pale then darken and produce no spore print. The stalk is up to 6 cm long and 5 cm thick, pale and darkening with age, sometimes darker at the base.
The species is found in California and Oregon.
