Boletus ornatipes Peck (1878)

Retiboletus ornatipes, commonly known as the ornate-stalked bolete or goldstalk, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. Originally named Boletus ornatipes by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck in 1878,[2] it was transferred to Retiboletus in 2002.[3]

One guide lists the species as inedible,[4] while another says it is choice.[5]
