Retiboletes Ornatipes 1
DNA studies show that there are thousands of different fungi in a single sample of soil, many of which are unknown and hidden – so-called “dark taxa.” Retiboletus Ornatipes, commonly known as the ornate-stalked bolete or goldstalk, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. Originally named Boletus Ornatipes, it was transferred to Retiboletus in 2002. The question “is Retiboletus Ornatipes edible” is not an easy one to answer. One guide lists the species as inedible, while another says it is a choice. It grows under oaks and other hardwoods in eastern North America.
