Boletus reticulatus is a highly prized edible mushroom. There are no known toxic look-alikes that would cause severe poisoning if mistaken for it, but some bitter boletes (e.g., Tylopilus felleus) can ruin a meal. Always be 100% certain of identification before consumption. Raw consumption is not recommended as it can cause mild gastrointestinal upset in some individuals; always cook thoroughly.

Toxin Type: None (edible)

Don't confuse with these look-alikes

Misidentification is the most common cause of mushroom poisoning. Summer Bolete can be confused with:

  • Porcini — Boletus
  • Bitter Bolete — Tylopilus
  • Bay Bolete — Imleria
