Birch Bolete occurs throughout most of Europe and is also recorded from parts of North America. It is mildly toxic (causing nausea and vomiting) unless given proper heat treatment: frying or boiling for 15–20 minutes is considered necessary. As mentioned, the mushroom turns black when heated. Leccinum versipelle is generally considered to be a good edible mushroom and can be used in recipes that call for Ceps (Boletus edulis).
