Extract from Wikipedia article: Chalciporus piperatus, commonly known as the peppery bolete, is a small pored mushroom of the family Boletaceae found in mixed woodland in Europe and North America. It has been recorded under introduced trees in Brazil, and has become naturalised in Tasmania and spread under native Nothofagus cunninghamii trees. A small bolete, the fruit body has a 1.6–9 cm (0.6–3.5 in) orange-fawn cap with cinnamon to brown pores underneath, and a 4–9.5 cm (1.6–3.7 in) high by 0.6–1.2 cm (0.2–0.5 in) thick stipe. The rare variety hypochryseus, found only in Europe, has yellow pores and tubes.
Chalciporus piperatus is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Boletaceae. It is commonly found in coniferous forests, particularly under pine trees. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically fruits from July to October, often in association with Pinus sylvestris. The fungus has also been recorded in other parts of north-western Russia, where it grows in similar habitats, characterized by acidic soils and moderate humidity. Its distribution in the region is generally limited to areas with abundant coniferous tree cover.
