51 PK. Most, if not all, records actually refer to B. pseudoregius,
which has long been confused with B. regius and is far
commoner. All material should be carefully examined with this in
mind.

38 ADB: 9 GS.This recently described species is in fact the
commonest Leccinum species in southern England, including
Essex, and many records of both L. scabrum and L. variicolor
should be reconsidered with this species in mind. It is certainly
abundant in Epping Forest, Lords Bushes etc. It is distinguished
by the soft grey tones of the woolly stem, with medium grey-
brown cap and flesh turning pale pink above and blue in the base
of the stem.
