      Thanks, I did too. And, the stipe was so oddly brittle and almost had the texture of a cracker. Posted 6 years ago

      It totally felt like a pretzel stick. I had a couple snap before I could get shots of them. They were so fragile. Posted 6 years ago

The Gyroporus purpurinus

''Gyroporus purpurinus'' is a species of bolete fungus in the family Gyroporaceae. Found in eastern North America, it was first described in 1936 by Wally Snell as a form of ''Boletus castaneus''. Snell and Rolf Singer transferred it to ''Gyroporus'' a decade later. Neither of these publications were valid according to the rules of botanical nomenclature, which at the time mandated a description in Latin. In 2013, Roy Halling and Naveed Davoodian published the name validly.
