Extract from Wikipedia article: Gyroporus castaneus, or commonly the chestnut bolete, is a small, white-pored relation of the Boletus mushrooms. It has a brown cap, and is usually found with oak trees. It differs from the true boletes in that the spores are a pale straw colour.
Gyroporus castaneus is a species of bolete fungus characterized by its chestnut-brown cap and stipe, white pores, and ellipsoidal to cylindrical spores. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically grows in association with coniferous trees, particularly pine, in sandy soils during summer and early autumn months. The fungus is relatively common in these regions, often found in mossy areas or under low vegetation. Fruitbodies are generally small to medium-sized, with caps reaching 3-8 cm in diameter.
