About Lanmaoa pseudosensibilis (A.H.Sm. & Thiers) G.Wu, Halling & Zhu L.Yang
Lanmaoa pseudosensibilis is a fungus that belongs to the family Boletaceae. It was first officially described in 1971 by mycologists Alexander H. Smith and Harry Delbert Thiers, and was transferred to the newly circumscribed genus Lanmaoa in 2015. Its cap ranges in color from yellowish to peachy and measures 4–15 centimetres (1+1⁄2–6 inches) wide. The stem is 5–10 cm (2–4 in) tall and 1–2.5 cm (1⁄2–1 in) thick. The flesh is yellow and can turn blue when exposed or injured. Between July and September, this fungus is found in eastern North America, growing under hardwood trees, most commonly oak. Although it is edible, it is not recommended for consumption because it can be easily confused with toxic species.
