Description
Harrya is a fascinating group of fungi in the family Boletaceae, known for their distinctive and colorful fruiting bodies. A notable species within this group, Harrya chromapes, features smooth, rose-pink caps that start convex and flatten with age. The undersides of the caps have pores that change from white to pale pink as the spores mature. These mushrooms are mycorrhizal, forming symbiotic relationships with trees, particularly red and white oaks, and sometimes conifers.
