Boletaceae

Bothia is a fungal genus in the family Boletaceae. A monotypic genus, it contains the single species Bothia castanella, a bolete mushroom first described scientifically in 1900 from collections made in New Jersey. Found in the eastern United States, Costa Rica, China, and Taiwan, it grows in a mycorrhizal association with oak trees. Its fruit body is chestnut brown, the cap is smooth and dry, and the underside of the cap has radially elongated tubes. The spore deposit is yellow-brown. The edibility of the mushroom is unknown. Historically, its unique combination of morphological features resul

Wakefieldia is a genus of two species of fungi, generally thought to belong in the family Boletaceae, but a recent molecular study has shown that Wakefieldia macrospora is in fact not related to Boletales and belongs to family Hymenogastraceae.

Exsudoporus is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. It was circumscribed in 2014 by Alfredo Vizzini and colleagues, following a number of molecular studies that outlined a new phylogenetic framework for Boletaceae and revealed the genus Boletus in its traditional circumscription to be polyphyletic. However, due to lack of sufficient sequences, Wu and colleagues (2016) were reluctant to accept the newly proposed genus and considered it a synonym of Butyriboletus. Following additional phylogenetic sequencing and morphological analyses, Exsudoporus was clearly resolved as a monophyletic, ho

Mackintoshia is a fungal genus in the family Boletaceae. It was originally placed in Cortinariaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single truffle-like species Mackintoshia persica, found in Zimbabwe. This fungus, eaten by both the common duiker (Sylvicapra grimmia) and the Karanga people, is little known outside the Midlands Province of Zimbabwe. Mackintoshia was circumscribed by Giovanni Pacioni and Cathy Sharp in 2000. The genus name honors British-Rhodesian farmer Robbie Mackintosh, who collected and documented some early specimens. The specific epithet persica is Latin for peach,

Gastroleccinum is a fungal genus in the family Boletaceae. It is a monotypic genus, represented by the single species Gastroleccinum scabrosum. The genus was circumscribed by Harry Delbert Thiers in 1989.

Singeromyces is a fungal genus in the family Boletaceae. It is a monotypic genus, represented by the single species Singeromyces ferrugineus.

Borofutus is a fungal genus in the family Boletaceae. Newly described in 2012, it is monotypic, containing the single species Borofutus dhakanus, found in tropical Asia. The generic name Borofutus derives from the Bengali language, and means "large pore", while dhakanus refers to the type locality in Gazipur, Dhaka Division, Bhawal National Park, in Bangladesh. Molecular analysis shows Borofutus to be closely related to Spongiforma.

Phylloboletellus is a genus of bolete fungi in the family Boletaceae. It contains only a single species, Phylloboletellus chloephorus.

Pulchroboletus is a fungal genus in the family Boletaceae. It was circumscribed in 2014 to contain the species formerly known as Xerocomus roseoalbidus, a rare bolete fungus originally described from Sardinia, Italy. Pulchroboletus roseoalbidus is found in Mediterranean Europe, where it grows in association with oak species and less often Cistus species. In 2017, the species Boletus rubricitrinus was moved to Pulchroboletus. Pulchroboletus rubricitrinus can be found under Quercus in lawns in Florida and Texas.

Paxillogaster is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. This is a monotypic genus, containing the single species Paxillogaster luteus.

Crocinoboletus is a fungal genus in the family Boletaceae. Circumscribed in 2014, it contains two species: Crocinoboletus laetissimus, and the type, C. rufoaureus. This latter bolete was originally described by George Edward Massee in 1909 from collections made in Singapore. The genus is readily characterized by bright orange fruitbodies that readily stain blue-olive when injured, and smooth spores. The cap cuticle is made of a trichoderm (a cellular arrangement wherein the outermost hyphae emerge roughly parallel, like hairs, perpendicular to the cap surface) in the middle part of the ca

Alessioporus is a fungal genus in the family Boletaceae. It was circumscribed in 2014 to contain the species formerly known as Xerocomus ichnusanus. Alessioporus ichnusanus is found in southern Europe, where it grows in association with oak species and less often Cistus species. It grows even less frequently with Castanea sativa and possibly with Eucalyptus camaldulensis and Pteridium aquilinum.

Royoungia is a fungal genus in the family Boletaceae. This genus is represented by the type species Royoungia boletoides, which was found in Australia. In 2016, 5 more species were found in China.

Rhodactina is a genus of secotioid fungi in the family Boletaceae. The genus was circumscribed in 1989 based on the type species Rhodactina himalayensis, found in India and northern Thailand. The genus was originally classified in the family Gauteriaceae because of similarities in spore ornamentation to the genera Gautieria and Austrogautieria. A second species, Rhodactina incarnata, was added to the genus in 2006. It is found in Dipterocarpaceae-dominated forests in Chiang Mai (northern Thailand). Molecular phylogenetics analysis shows that Rhodactina is aligned with the Boletaceae.

Rugiboletus is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. It was circumscribed by Chinese mycologists Gang Wu and Zhu L. Yang in 2015 with the alpine species Rugiboletus extremiorientalis (previously Krombholzia extremiorientalis) from eastern Asia as the type species. Rugiboletus brunneiporus of southern China and India was also described that same year. The erection of Rugiboletus follows recent molecular studies that outlined a new phylogenetic framework for the Boletaceae. The generic name—derived from the Latin stem rugi- ("wrinkled") and Boletus as the mushroom caps are wrinkled an
