Description
Crocinoboletus is a group of fungi known for their striking color changes. When cut or bruised, their flesh rapidly turns from yellow to blue or indigo. This dramatic transformation is due to unique compounds in their tissues. Crocinoboletus species are found in tropical and subtropical regions, often growing in association with certain trees. Their caps can be vividly colored, adding to their eye-catching appearance in forest environments.
