Leccinellum corsicum fungi kingdom
Leccinellum corsicum is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. It grows in symbiosis with rockrose in Mediterranean Europe and Algeria. The fungus was originally described as new to science in 1896 by French mycologist Léon Louis Rolland as a species of Boletus. Andreas Bresinsky and Manfred Binder transferred it to the newly circumscribed genus Leccinellum in 2003. The bolete is edible, and is especially appreciated in Portugal.
