Cyanoboletus pulverulentus

Cyanoboletus pulverulentus, commonly known as the ink stain bolete, is an uncommon, edible bolete mushroom. It is found in deciduous and mixed forests, particularly on moist soil on slopes and under beech and oak trees. A common species, it is found in northern Asia, Europe, North Africa, Central and northern South America, and eastern North America. All parts of the mushroom will stain dark bluish-black after handling. The mushrooms are edible, but not particularly desirable.
