Abstract

The butter boletes (Boletus s.l. sect. Appendiculati) are an economically important group of ectomycorrhizal fungi whose basidiocarps have a yellow tube layer that often bruises blue, yellow reticulate stipe, mild taste, and firm yellow-tinged flesh that may or may not blue when exposed. We use morphological characters and molecular data (ITS and LSU) to establish a new genus, Butyriboletus, to accommodate 15 species of butter boletes that range around the northern hemisphere from Asia to Europe, North Africa and North America. We recombine eight previously described butter bolete species and we describe seven new species: four from California, USA and three from Yunnan, China.
