    R. E. Halling 7475 with Tulloss, Shanks, Petersen, 24 Jun 1995

  • Location

    Costa Rica. San José. Dota (Canton). San Gerardo. 1.5 km from Interamerican Highway on road toward San Gerardo de Dota.

  • Habitat

    Quercus costaricensis, Q. copeyensis. Gregarious. On soil.

  • Description

    Flesh is white at first when cut, then becomes pink to reddish orange in the pileus and stipe apex, in mid-stipe the change is to a greenish blue and a deep blue in the base. These oxidation reactions appear to be consistent for this Leccinum that I have been calling L. griseum. The pileus color seems to vary from a caramel to dark gray brown and may be more or less rugulose depending on individual collections. KOH is yellow to orange brown on pileus surface.
