Extract from Wikipedia article: Aureoboletus auriporus, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae that is found in Europe and North America. It was originally described in 1872 by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck, who called it Boletus auriporus. Zdenek Pouzar transferred it to the genus Aureoboletus in 1957.
Aureoboletus auriporus is a species of bolete fungus characterized by its golden to yellowish pore surface and reddish-brown cap. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits in late summer to early fall, often associated with oak trees, particularly Quercus stellata and Quercus buckleyi. The fungus has been found in a variety of habitats, including woodland edges, savannas, and riparian areas, where the soil is rich in organic matter and moisture is adequate. Its distribution in this region tends to be scattered, with fruiting bodies usually solitary or in small groups.
