Caps on stems; pores below caps [boletes & stemmed polypores]


 

The fungi in this group produce fruitbodies with pores on the underside of the cap. Mostly the pores are roughly circular but in some species they are elongated. In some species the pores measure a millimetre or more in diameter but in others they are almost invisible to the naked eye and you may need a magnifying glass or hand lens to confirm their presence.

Dig the entire specimen and dry it in a dehydrator, providing it is on private land, if not you will require a license

It was probably not rained on. It was quite fresh on 2 June.

There is only one that I have seen so far although there might be a smaller one growing next to it. The rain that it could have been exposed to would have been about 22 May.
What is involved in making a herbarium collection?

Gorgeous, new pics are great thanks - appears to be one of the Boletellus spp without any of the pink in the cap but showing some at the apex of the stem - very interesting. Is there only one? Are you able to make a herbarium collection?
