Gyroporus Cyanescens
''Gyroporus cyanescens'', commonly known as the bluing bolete or the cornflower bolete, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Gyroporaceae. First described from France in 1788, the species is found in Asia, Australia, Europe, and eastern North America, where it grows on the ground in coniferous forest, coniferous and mixed forests. The yellowish to buff (color), buff cap surface is fibrous and roughened, and reaches up to in diameter. The thick stipe (mycology), stem, roughly the same color as the cap or lighter, is hollowed out into chambers. All parts of the mushroom turn an intense blue color within a few moments of bruising or cutting. The mushroom is edible mushroom, edible, despite its hard stem.
