Boletus bicolor, also known in English as the two-colored bolete or red and yellow bolete after its two-tone coloring scheme of red and yellow, is an edible fungus of the Boletus genus that inhabits most of eastern North America, primarily east of the Rocky Mountains and in season during the summer and fall months but can be found across the globe in China and Nepal. Its fruit body, the mushroom, is classed as medium or large in size, which helps distinguish it from the many similar appearing species that have a smaller stature. A deep blue/indigo bruising of the pore surface and a less dramatic bruising coloration change in the stem over a period of several minutes are identifying characteristics that distinguish it from the similar Boletus sensibilis which is poisonous.
Description
The color of the cap of this two-colored bolete varies from light red and almost pink to brick red. The most common coloration is brick red when mature. The cap usually ranges from about 5–15 centimeters (2–6 inches) in width, with bright yellow pores underneath and a reddish stem that is usually 5–10 cm (2–4 in) in height, and is one of several types of boletes that has the unusual reaction of the pore surface bruising a dark blue/indigo when it is injured, although this takes longer than it does with other mushrooms. When the flesh is exposed it also turns a dark blue but less dramatically than the pore surface.[1] When young the pore surface is a bright yellow and with maturity it slowly turns a dingy yellow. It is safe for consumption and has mild taste.[2] Like with other bluing mushrooms, some people may have a minor allergic reaction after consuming this mushroom, and others recommend that it not be consumed because of its similarity to Boletus sensibilis, which has been known to cause stomach upsets.[3][4]
Stem
The stem of the two colored bolete ranges from 5 to 10 centimeters(2-4 inches) in length and ranges from 1 to 3 centimeters in width(3/8-1 1/8 inches). The stem coloration is yellow at the apex and a red or rosy red for the remaining two thirds. When injured it bruises blue very slowly and may hardly change color at all in some cases. The stem lacks an annulus and has a partial veil.[5]
Macrochemical Tests
- Further methods of identification are macrochemical tests. With the application of FeSO4 to the pileipellis the pileipellis will turn a dark grey almost black color and with the application of KOH or NH4OH it will turn to a negative coloration. The context stains a bluish grey to an olive green when FeSO4 is applied to it, a pale orange to a pale yellow with the application of KOH, and negative with the application of NH4OH.[5]
Edibility
- The two colored bolete is a semi-edible mushroom. Some may have an allergic reaction after ingestion resulting in stomach upset.[6] B. Bicolor has a very mild to no taste although it is said to have a very distinctive taste like that of the King bolete.It can be cooked a variety of ways depending on personal preference. The the varying color of the cap can be used to determinate if the mushroom is ready to be eaten. If the cap is a lighter red then it is less mature and is in a stage where it is often larva infested or in can be soft fleshed, in some cases both. The cap should have a dark brick red color to be safe to eat.[7] Drying the two colored bolete is a good way of storing the mushroom. It is important to note the time it takes for the two colored bolete to bruise when identifying it for consumption. It should take several minutes to bruise compared to the instant bruising of Boletus sensibilis which is poisonous and has many of the same visual characteristics of the two colored bolete.[4]
Distribution and habitat
The two-colored bolete is distributed from southeastern Canada and the Great Lakes Region, primarily west of the Rocky Mountains, south to places such as Mississippi and Florida, and out to the Midwest as far a Wisconsin . It is most commonly found in deciduous woodland and usually grows under or close to broad-leaved trees, especially oak.[1] It can be found in isolation or in groups or clusters primarily during the June through October months.[5] B. Bicolor is also found in Nepal, where it is one of the most used mushrooms of the total 228 species of edible mushroom used there.<ref name="Christensen">Christensen, Morten; Bhattarai, Sanjeeb; Devkota, Shiva; Larsen, Helle (2008).
