 It is important to note the time it takes for the two-colored bolete to bruise when identifying it for consumption; the mushroom should take several minutes to bruise compared to the instant bruising of "Boletus sensibilis", which is poisonous and has many of the same visual characteristics of the two-colored bolete.The two-colored bolete is distributed from southeastern Canada and the Great Lakes Region, primarily east of the Rocky Mountains, as far south as the Florida peninsula, and out to the Midwest as far as Wisconsin.It is commonly found in deciduous woodland and usually grows under or close to broad-leaved trees, especially oak.
