Extract from Wikipedia article: Gyroporus phaeocyanescens is a species of bolete fungus in the family Gyroporaceae. It was described as new to science in 1983 from collections made in Belize.
Gyroporus phaeocyanescens is a species of bolete fungus characterized by its brown to dark brown cap, yellow to greenish-yellow pores, and blue-green staining reaction when injured. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits in late summer to early fall, often in association with oak trees, particularly live oak and post oak. The fungus can be found in a variety of habitats, including woodlands, savannas, and urban areas, and is considered to be of medium to large size, with caps ranging from 3-8 cm in diameter.
