Summary
Source: WikipediaBaorangia bicolor, also known as the two-colored bolete or red and yellow bolete after its two-tone coloring scheme, is a species of fungus in the genus Baorangia. 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 poisonous species Boletus sensibilis. There are also nonpoisonous similar species, and two varieties, var. borealis and var. subreticulatus. Baorangia bicolor inhabits most of eastern North America, primarily east of the Rocky Mountains, and is in season during the summer and fall. It can also be found in China and Nepal. It is an edible mushroom.
