Boletopsis leucomelaena – kurokawa, kurotake
Description: Our commonest one seems to be B. grisea, which apparently occurs mostly with pine; it has dull gray to blackish, often radially streaked, cap that sometimes is slightly scaly near the center. The similar B. leucomelaena occurs mainly with spruce. B. smithii is known from a single collection in Washington and is distinctive by the orange coloration of the cap and stipe.
