Rheubarbariboletus persicolor

Rheubarbariboletus persicolor is a species of bolete fungus. It produces distinctive fruit bodies characterized by caps in peach to apricot hues that age to ochre with a pinkish tinge, bright yellow pores that bruise blue, and a yellow stipe with orange-rust spotting. The fungus typically grows on well-drained, sandy soils in Mediterranean coastal habitats dominated by holm oak, forming ectomycorrhizal relationships with the surrounding vegetation. Currently documented only from coastal locations in the Lazio region of central Italy, it fruits during autumn in maquis shrubland and pine woodland margins, often within close proximity to the Tyrrhenian Sea.
