Description
Tylopilus is a group of bolete fungi known for their distinctive sponge-like pores under the cap instead of gills. They often exhibit a variety of colors, from browns to pinks, and can even change color when bruised. Some species in this group are known to have a strong bitter taste that sets them apart from other mushrooms. Interestingly, they typically grow in symbiosis with trees, aiding in nutrient exchange.
