Boletus ferrugineus is a species of bolete fungus characterized by its reddish-brown to chestnut-brown cap and yellow to greenish-yellow pores. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it typically fruits in late summer to early autumn, often associated with coniferous trees, particularly spruce and pine. The fungus is commonly found in mossy or sandy areas, and its distribution in the region is relatively widespread, although less frequent than other bolete species.
