The popular name “Bruise” accurately conveys the behavior of the fungus at the slightest tissue damage, whether it be a cut, a break, or just a touch: it turns blue. The color change is fast and very clear, making it almost unmistakable to distinguish Gyroporus blue from other boletes.

lohany: 4-12 cm, sometimes up to 15 cm in diameter. Convex at first, then broadly convex or sometimes nearly flat in age. Dry, coarsely rough or sometimes dull-scaly, covered with fine hairs. Straw or pale brownish, brownish yellow. Turns blue when touched.

Hymenophore: tubular. The surface of the pores (tubules): from white to yellowish, straw-colored, instantly turns blue when pressed. Contains 1-3 round pores per 1 mm. Tubes up to 18 mm deep.

leg: 4-12 cm long, 1-3 cm thick. More or less even or with a slight thickening in the middle part, it can narrow towards the very bottom. In young specimens, it is made, with age, cavities form in the stem, in adults it is almost hollow. Visually, the leg is divided into two parts: at the top, directly under the cap, it is light, smooth. Below – in the color of the hat, matte, slightly pubescent. There is no ring, but the upper and lower parts of the cap are separated so sharply that you involuntarily look for where the ring is.

pulp: white to pale yellow, brittle, brittle. It turns blue very quickly when cut.

fofona sy tsiro: weak mushroom, sometimes a pleasant, nutty taste is noted.

Fihetseham-po simika: Ammonia negative or pale orange on the cap surface, negative to brownish on the flesh. KOH negative to orange on the cap surface, negative to brownish on the flesh. Iron salts olive to almost black on the flesh.

Sokafy vovoka spora: pale yellow.

Endri-javatra mikroskopika: spores of variable size, but mostly 8-11 x 4-5 µm (however, often as small as 6 x 3 µm and as large as 14 x 6,5 µm). Smooth, smooth, ellipsoid. Yellowish in KOH.

Gyroporus bluish is suitable for human consumption. It is used in dried, pickled and boiled form. Data on taste qualities are contradictory: someone believes that it is not inferior to white fungus, someone notes “very mediocre” taste qualities.

Different sources mention mycorrhiza with deciduous species, and different ones, such as birch, chestnut, oak. There is even an assumption about mycorrhiza with conifers, with pine. But, as Singer (1945) notes, Gyroporus cyanoticus grows “in forests and even in meadows” and “does not seem to regularly form mycorrhiza, at least no preference for any forest tree has been proven, since sometimes fruiting bodies form far enough away from any tree.”

Grows alone, scattered or in small groups, usually in sandy soil, especially soil with broken structure (roadbeds, roadsides, park areas, etc.)

Summer and autumn. The fungus is quite widespread in America, Europe, Our Country.

Considered a rare species. Gyroporus blue listed in the Red Book of Our Country.
