Imleria badia, commonly known as the bay bolete, is an edible mushroom found in coniferous and mixed woodland across the Northern Hemisphere, recognizable by its chestnut to reddish-brown cap. Long classified in the genus Boletus alongside this atlas's own porcini, it was moved to its own genus, Imleria, following genetic study, and it remains a popular edible species collected for the table in much of Europe.
