Baorangia Bicolor

Baorangia Bicolor (Boletus bicolor). One very cool mushroom, in a world filled with astounding mushrooms. This one red and yellow. Color is something that I adore and this fungus doesn’t disappoint.

The pores bruise with a dark indigo blue stain and the stem also changes color in a matter of a few minutes with little pressure.

This mushroom is found in China and Nepal, and in eastern North American, for the most part east of the Rocky Mountains. It grows under Oaks, or other broad-leafed trees.

There’s always something out there, just waiting to be discovered. One just has to look for it.
