Leccinum scabrum

The birch bolete — a mushroom that grows nowhere but under a birch

~

A Kondráty sat under a birch, surrounded by a mushroom mob: Leccinum scabrum, Amanita muscaria, of different size.

Brown cap, white flesh, a pale stem furred all over with small dark scabers. It grows under birches and nowhere else.
