We enjoy to share these photos of a very rare bolete that decompose the roots and stumps of coniferous trees, in the company of the Phaeolus schweinitzii on which it would live as a parasite. It grow up when the Phaeolus was pointing on the ground surface. These photos were taken on July 25th. The literature say that it fruit in late summer and early autumn; perhaps, its great rarity is due to the fact that we do not look for him at the right time. F. Miron, biologist
