Note. E. Fries states in the Epicrisis that he received this Boletus
from Count Raben, who had collected it in Iceland. The species has been
diagnosed on the basis of material preserved in alcohol. B. laevis has
never been found again either in Iceland or elsewhere, and since the
diagnosis of Fries renders it quite permissible to regard B. laevis as an
accidental smoothly stipitate variant of B. scaber, there seems to be no
reason to maintain B. laevis as a species.
