Retiboletus griseus, commonly known as the gray bolete, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. The species was first described scientifically in 1878 by American botanist Charles Christopher Frost.[3] It was transferred to Retiboletus in 2002.[4]
The grayish cap is convex, 4–10 centimetres (1+1⁄2–4 in) wide, and soft or leathery.[5] The stem is yellowish, 4–10 cm tall and 1–3 cm (1⁄2–1+1⁄4 in) thick.[5] The flesh is whitish and can stain tannish. The spore print is olive brown.[5]
Lookalikes include R. vinaceipes, Tylopilus griseocarneus, T. variobrunneus, and Leccinum albellum.[5]
It can be found under oak trees in eastern North America from June to September.[5]
