Hortiboletus rubellus

By Manu Merino

Today I present an incredible species. It is now called Hortiboletus rubellus but it is also known as Xerocomus Rubellus. I have found the specimens of this video, in the best moment of their life, that's why those garnet colors are so impressive.

I also share a bit of the nature of the environment, such as the most popular and beautiful European butterfly, the Papilio machaon and two plants, the Sedum album and the stachys officinalis.

And if you liked the Santa Catalina lighthouse - Lekeitio, last week, I can assure you, that the sunset from this place is the most spectacular in the entire Basque Country.

Hortiboletus rubellus (Krombh.) Simonini, Vizzini & Gelardi - (2015)

Characteristics:
-Cap: Medium in size, between 4 and 10 in diameter, in our case between 4 and 7 cm. When young it is hemispherical and then convex extended. The margin is surplus and wavy, especially in youth. The dry cuticle cannot be separated from the meat and has a velvety appearance of a spectacular garnet red color. With heat it tends to cut very finely.
-Tubes and pores: the tubes have a yellowish color in youth, like the pores, with friction or pressure they are paved slowly. The pores are wide and angular, reaching 1- 1.5 mm.
- Stem: cylindrical, thinned at the base, the upper part is lemon yellow, and the rest is covered by red fibrils.
Flesh: Very light yellow, just below the cuticle it becomes a little red and at the base of the foot it is orange, when it cuts a little blue, it looks very good in the video. Of soft consistency in the hat and fibrous on the foot. Its flavor is sweet and fruity and very frequently worm-like.
-Edibility: it is of low culinary quality.
-Habitat: in our case in American oak (Quercus rubra),
- Season: mainly in summer and autumn in our case in July
-Place: Lekeitio - Bizkaia, Basque Country

Confusions: It is not easy to identify this species, therefore it can be confused with Xerocomellus chrysenteron less reddish, with Rheubarbariboletus armeniacus in apricot color
