Description[edit | edit source]
Rubroboletus legaliae is characterized by its reddish-brown cap, which can reach up to 15 centimeters in diameter. The stem is typically thick and bulbous at the base, with a reticulated pattern on the upper portion. The flesh of the mushroom turns blue when bruised.
Distribution and Habitat[edit | edit source]
This species is found in Europe in association with oak and beech trees. It prefers acidic soils and is commonly found in mixed forests.
Edibility[edit | edit source]
Rubroboletus legaliae is considered edible by some, but caution is advised as it closely resembles other boletes that may be toxic.
Similar Species[edit | edit source]
This species is closely related to other members of the genus Rubroboletus, such as Rubroboletus satanas and Rubroboletus rhodoxanthus.
Conservation[edit | edit source]
Due to its limited distribution and specific habitat requirements, Rubroboletus legaliae may be vulnerable to habitat loss and climate change.
