Lanmaoa pseudosensibilis is a fungus of the family Boletaceae. First described officially in 1971 by mycologists Alexander H. Smith and Harry Delbert Thiers, [2] it was transferred to the newly circumscribed genus Lanmaoa in 2015. [3]
The yellowish to peachy cap is 4–15 centimetres (1+1⁄2–6 in) wide. The stem is 5–10 cm (2–4 in) tall and 1–2.5 cm (1⁄2–1 in). The flesh is yellow and can stain blue. [4]
From July to September, it can be found in eastern North America under hardwood trees, mostly oak. [4]
While edible, it is not recommended as it could be confused with toxic species. [5]
