About

Chamonixia caespitosa é um fungo basidiomiceto hipógeo pertencente à família Boletaceae. Produz corpos frutíferos subterrâneos de coloração branca a acinzentada que se tornam azulados quando cortados, devido a reações enzimáticas. Forma micorriza com coníferas em florestas de montanha da Europa e América do Norte. Por desenvolver-se completamente abaixo do solo, depende de mamíferos escavadores para a dispersão de esporos. É considerada espécie rara e pouco conhecida.
