Leccinum

Leccinum are fascinating fungi known for their distinctive scaly, often speckled stalks, which grow taller than many other fungi. They form a symbiotic relationship with trees, particularly birches and aspens, thriving in various forests worldwide. Some species in this group can change color when bruised or cut, often turning shades of blue or black. Despite their visual similarities, these fungi can exhibit a wide range of colors and textures on their caps.
