Extract from Wikipedia article: Leccinum scabrum, commonly known as the rough-stemmed bolete, scaber stalk, and birch bolete, is an edible mushroom in the family Boletaceae, and was formerly classified as Boletus scaber. The birch bolete is widespread in Europe, in the Himalayas in Asia, and elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere, occurring only in mycorrhizal association with birch trees. It fruits from June to October. This mushroom is also becoming increasingly common in Australia and New Zealand where it is likely introduced.
Leccinum scabrum is a species of bolete fungus that grows in association with birch trees. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits from July to October, often in moist areas with rich soil. The cap is 4-10 cm in diameter, brown to grey-brown, and scabrous, while the stem is 6-12 cm tall, white to pale brown, and covered with brown scabers. It is a common species in the region, found in birch forests and woodland edges.
