Leccinum holopus is a pallid look-alike to Leccinum
scabrum. There are several brown-capped Leccinums, not all of which
are named. Leccinum holopus is found under birch and under
aspens. It is edible when young and firm, though I do not seek out the
brown-capped Leccinums with the same enthusiasm I have for the orange-capped
varieties.
