Leccinum
''Leccinum'' is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. It was the name given first to a series of fungi within the genus ''Boletus'', then erected as a new genus last century. Their main distinguishing feature is the small, rigid projections (scabers) that give a rough texture to their stalks. The genus name was coined from the Italian ''Leccino'', for a type of rough-stemmed bolete. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in north temperate regions, and contains about 75 species. Ecology and habitat ''Leccinum'' species are generally found in the woodlands of Eurasia, and North America, forming ectomycorrhizal associations with trees. Most ''Leccinum'' species are mycorrhizal specialists, associating with trees of a single genus. ''Leccinum aurantiacum'' is an exception, however, occurring in mycorrhizal association with birch, poplar, and oak. Culinary value They have generally been presumed to be edible for the most part, but there are reports of poisoni ...

Leccinum Holopus
''Leccinum holopus'', commonly known as the white birch bolete, white bog bolete, or ghost bolete, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae found in northern Asia, Europe, and northeastern North America. It associates with birch trees and is typically found in boggy or swampy areas, often growing among sphagnum moss. Fruitbodies (mushrooms) of ''L. holopus'' have convex caps measuring up to in diameter. Often pure white—especially in young fruitbodies—the caps sometimes become flushed with buff or brownish tints. The whitish surface of the stipe is covered with small, stiff, projecting scales (scabers) that become tan or darker in age. Some varieties of ''Leccinum holopus'' have been described that vary in cap color or staining reaction, but DNA evidence suggests that most are the same taxon. Although the fruitbodies are edible, opinions vary as to their culinary desirability. Taxonomy Initially named as a species of ''Boletus'' by German mycologist ...

Leccinum Manzanitae
''Leccinum manzanitae'' is an edible species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. Described as new to science in 1971, it is commonly known as the manzanita bolete for its usual mycorrhizal association with manzanita trees. Its fruit bodies (mushrooms) have sticky reddish to brown caps up to , and its stipes are up to long and thick. They have a whitish background color punctuated with small black scales known as ''scabers''. Found only in the Pacific Northwest region of the United States and Canada, it is the most common ''Leccinum'' species in California. The mushroom is edible, although opinions vary as to its quality. ''L. manzanitae'' can be usually distinguished from other similar bolete mushrooms by its large size, reddish cap, dark scabers on a whitish stipe, and association with manzanita and madrone. Taxonomy ''Leccinum manzanitae'' was first described by the American mycologist Harry Delbert Thiers in 1971, from collections made in San Mateo County, C ...

Leccinum Lepidum
''Leccinellum lepidum'' is a species of bolete in the family Boletaceae. Originally described as ''Boletus lepidus'' in 1965, the fungus has gone through controversial taxonomic treatments over the years and was subsequently transferred to genus'' Krombholziella'' in 1985, to genus ''Leccinum'' in 1990, and to genus '' Leccinellum'' in 2003. It is the sister-species of '' Leccinellum corsicum'', with which it had been erroneously synonymised by some authors in the past. Like other species of Boletaceae, it has tubes and pores instead of gills in its hymenial (fertile) surface and produces large, fleshy fruit bodies up to 20 cm across. Fruit bodies have the tendency to stain orange, violaceous grey and eventually blackish brown when handled or when the flesh is exposed to the air. Native to southern Europe, ''L. lepidum'' is abundantly present throughout the Mediterranean, growing in mycorrhizal symbiosis with various species of oak (''Quercus''), particularly evergreen m ...

''Leccinum cyaneobasileucum'' is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. Originally found growing under silver birch, it was described as new to science in 1991. The fungus produces fruit bodies with caps measuring wide that range in colour from hazel, to reddish-yellow, to walnut brown. The white to grey stipe measures long by thick and is covered with brownish scales. In deposit the spores are walnut brown; microscopically, they are somewhat spindle shaped and measure 14–18 by 5–6  µm. ''L. cyaneobasileucum'' grows under birch, usually in moss.
