Extract from Wikipedia article: Leccinum schistophilum is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. Found in Europe, where it grows in association with beech, it was described as new to science in 1981 by French mycologist Marcel Bon.
Leccinum schistophilum is a rare species of bolete fungus. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it typically grows in association with birch trees, particularly on sandy soils and rocky outcrops. Fruitings are often found in late summer to early autumn. In north-western Russia, the species appears to be restricted to areas with acidic soils and abundant birch cover, with records from coniferous and mixed forests. The cap is typically 4-8 cm in diameter, brown to grey-brown, and often cracked or fissured, while the stem is sturdy, pale brown, and covered in fine, dark brown scales.
