Description

Fruit bodies have convex brown caps measuring up to 10 cm (3.9 in) in diameter. The surface is initially smooth, but becomes cracked as the bolete ages. Tubes on the cap underside are 2–2.5 cm (0.8–1.0 in) long, while the large angular pores are 4–5 mm across. Spores are spherical or nearly so, and measure 9–11 µm.[1]

gollark: I think only two people actually have it, and neither have been permitted back here yet...
gollark: Is this a [REDACTED] sort of thing or are you just being triangular?
gollark: Light is quite fast. I think the Doppler effect will mostly be negligible.
gollark: Anyway, it generally seems more practical than dealing with individual atoms to make fission waste somewhat less bad.
gollark: I think the US's NIF thing and eventually ITER.
