Talk:Hortiboletus rubellus

Edibility
"It is not recommended as it is often maggoty..." Aren't all mushrooms "maggoty"? Kaldari (talk) 18:38, 28 July 2008 (UTC)


 * Mmm... delicious maggots... MisplacedFate1313 (talk) 21:37, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * Actually different species vary greatly in terms of their likelihood of infestation, with boletes particularly attractive to he critters....Cheers, Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:51, 28 July 2008 (UTC)
 * The sentence is still nonsense. If it is infested with maggots, you don't eat it. If it isn't, you do. My books list this as edible - I am changing it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.81.84.2 (talk) 12:36, 21 June 2011 (UTC)

Proposed merge with Xerocomellus rubellus
Xerocomellus rubellus and Hortiboletus rubellus are synonyms for the same organism. Jmertel23 (talk) 17:54, 23 May 2018 (UTC)

Confusing
Under Description it says "The pores are small; pale yellow" and then a few lines further down it says "The tubes and pores are large and lemon-yellow". Then the next chapter starts: "Conflicting information on pore size in notable publications is a possible indication that there may be more than one species involved"... But what about conflicting information in the same publication? - Episcophagus (talk) 08:23, 26 September 2018 (UTC)
