Chemical analysis:
Iron salts—>Gray on cap. Changes/erases blue (stained) areas of flesh and pores back to yellow.

The test kit consists of the aforementioned reagents (in aqueous solution) in dropper bottles. I almost always use them on boletes as color changes on the pileus, flesh, and pores can help differentiate species with similar morphologies.
Would you like me to include some shots of my chemical analyses in future posts? Posted 6 years ago, modified 6 years ago
