Habitat
The shaggy-stalked bolete is a woodland mushroom that prefers mixed oak-pine forests. It forms a symbiotic relationship with an oak tree's roots, helping it absorb water and nutrients while the oak provides the fungus with sugars and amino acids. Its fruitbodies will be found amid the leaf litter and debris underneath the host tree.
