Leccinum albostipitatum (Aspen bolete)
Working on ticking off spotting more bolete species, my favourite group of fungi, this was one of my favourite rarer ones this year - Leccinum are just beautiful and orange capped ones even more so! This Leccinum typically lacks the brown-black scales that other orange Leccinum have (versipelle and aurantiacum), and grows with aspen/poplar (versipelle grows with birch, aurantiacum with oak). You can spot the poplar leaves here! It stains a grey-blue as you can see.
