Extract from Wikipedia article: Xerocomus subtomentosus, commonly known as suede bolete, brown and yellow bolet, boring brown bolete or yellow-cracked bolete, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. The fungus was initially described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 and known for many years as Boletus subtomentosus. It is edible, though not as highly regarded as other bolete mushrooms.
Boletus subtomentosus is a species of bolete fungus characterized by its small to medium size, reddish-brown to yellowish-brown cap, and yellow pores that turn blue when bruised. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically grows in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with spruce, pine, and birch trees. Fruiting bodies are usually found from July to October, with a peak in August and September. The fungus is considered edible, but not highly prized due to its soft flesh and variable flavor. It is widely distributed in the region, including urban parks and forests near St. Petersburg.
