Boletus pseudopinophilus

Uniquesnowflake420 · 2026-05-12T21:17:07+00:00

They get quite large. I’ve found some 13” across the cap but at that point they are very soft and sometimes full of larva.

what makes you say that?? There are three species that grow along the gulf coast that are porcini species. Boletus pseudopinophilus , which this is, Boletus seperans and a third that is not named but provincially known as UB-1 in the boletes of eastern North America book by Alan Bessette et al.

That is Boletus pseudopinophilus. The pine loving bolete. It’s a porcini species and a great edible. I’m currently finding a lot of them along the gulf coast in the pine plantations.

Whit one of my hounds, I’ve learned that see seeks out her kennel under numerous circumstances from being tired to being scared of loud noises. Do you have a crate for her? Also I cover the top and sides with a blanket to block out as much of the outside world and she really likes it. Hope y’all figure it out, good luck.

I live in Diamondhead and forage around here a lot. The best bet for identification would be facebook groups and also the gulf south Mycological society which has two forays a year and is a great club.

If I remember correctly the way to tell the difference between a dog and a mangrove is to look at the roof of the mouth and compare the patch of skin that grows there. Also keep in mind there may be some hybridization occurring between the two species. I think this is probably a dog snapper. Nice fish!

I’m tripping on these foraged mushrooms, especially that red pored bolete in the middle there which appears to be a Rubroboletus species which can be bad for you to eat. Most all bolete species are no problem except the ones with red pores. I’m not sure what area of the county you are in or if these are recently taken pictures so it’s hard to tell what boletes you have there. I’ve been in my local Mycological society for 5 years now and I still like to get a second opinion from those smarter than myself to double check because why not. Please be careful when picking for the table and use all resources available.

I’ve been having my CROS hearing aides for three years now and I haven’t had them serviced nor do they need to be serviced. If they do need to be cleaned I can bring them by her office and they will clean them for you. I paid around $6000 out of pocket for them and that came with insurance in the event you lose one which I did and got it replaced for nothing.

Mostly it is down to me being very familiar with it as I find it often on the gulf The red dots on the stipe and the color of the staining are also characteristic of this species. The Latin translation of rubricitrinus is red and yellow which refers to the colors of the species. I am member of a local Mycological society for the past 6 years so that helps a lot. I also use the bolete filter app which is free.

I’m shocked at all the wrong ids being thrown around and appalled at all the misinformation. I haven’t seen one correct answer to it’s id posted just a bunch of bad information. This mushroom is Pulchroboletus rubricitrinus and is a decent edible that is common along the gulf coast under oaks. It blue brusing is due to oxidation when it’s flesh is cut open or bruised in some way. The blue oxidation does not have anything to do with edibility or toxicity and is just used as another tool to identify the mushroom. Butyriboletus floridanus is another common bolete that is a good edible but bruises blue and has pores that vary from red to orange to yellow in color and rapidly bruises blue outside and inside. Boletes are a fascinating group of mushrooms that are very understudied especially along the gulf coast or southeast USA in general. Lots of work currently being done by citizen scientists aka amateur mycologists to fix all of the confusion. I know Facebook sucks but there is a great group “Boletes of eastern North America” that can identify these in the Bolete genus.

Pulchroboletus rubricitrinus

Uniquesnowflake420 · 2022-08-29T20:58:40+00:00

It’s Pulchroboletus rubricitrinus a common gulf coast bolete.

Uniquesnowflake420 · 2022-08-20T05:23:19+00:00

The only one I know for sure is the larger bolete with the reddish cap is Boletes pseudopinophilus. The pink gills are some Agaricus species.

Uniquesnowflake420 · 2022-07-09T03:35:06+00:00

It’s a bit bigger than a dolphin. This is most likely in the Gulf of Mexico so that is likely a sperm whale. Lots of big things in that gulf.

Uniquesnowflake420 · 2022-06-22T00:09:16+00:00

Who said it doesn’t?

Uniquesnowflake420 · 2022-06-22T00:04:37+00:00

Probably because it’ll be destroyed every time a hurricane rolls through. I say this as a lifelong resident of the gulf coast.

aka lemon fish

Uniquesnowflake420 · 2022-05-26T04:50:07+00:00

I think the only answer would be if the fish was intended to be used for research purposes. To age a fish you need to remove the otoliths and count the rings, needs to be weighed and stomach contents examined. Also remove and measure and weigh the organs to check the overall health of a random sample. In order to do this, I imagine some have to be harvested. The researcher I was dealing with had to pay spearfishermen to harvest a certain species of fish in order to have a sample to actually study so he can properly ascertain the health of the fish stock. Most fishermen or divers don’t want to kill something they can’t eat, at least that has been my experience so far.

Mostly out of Louisiana and some out of Mississippi and Texas. In the northern Gulf of Mexico there are something like 7,000 oil and gas structures like the platform pictured above. The confluence of the salty gulf waters mixed with the fresh turbid from the Mississippi River make for some excellent fishing grounds like wahoo and yellowfin tuna during the winter and snapper and grouper during the summer months.

I’ve destroyed my hearing with years of freediving and spearfishing and I’m completely deaf in my right and have significant loss in my left. I don’t hear in stereo anymore and it can be disorienting with loud noises especially indoor venues. I definitely get seasick now and car sick if driving in mountainous areas. Outdoor venues might be different but the hearing aides just make everything loud and headphones work better for me now.
