Tylopilus Argillaceus
''Tylopilus'' is a genus of over 100 species of mycorrhizal bolete fungi separated from ''Boletus''. Its best known member is the bitter bolete (''Tylopilus felleus''), the only species found in Europe. More species are found in North America, such as the edible mushroom, edible species ''Tylopilus alboater, T. alboater''. Australia is another continent where many species are found. All members of the genus form mycorrhizal relationships with trees. Members of the genus are distinguished by their pinkish pore surfaces. Taxonomy The genus was first defined by Petter Adolf Karsten in 1881. The type species, ''Tylopilus felleus'', was originally described in 1788 as a species of ''Boletus'' by French mycologist Pierre Bulliard. ''Tylopilus'' means "bumpy or swollen pileus (mycology), pileus", from the Ancient Greek, Greek ''tylos'' "bump" and ''pilos'' "hat". Molecular phylogenetics, Molecular analysis indicates the genus, like other large genera within the Boletales, is polyp ...

Tylopilus Felleus
''Tylopilus felleus'', commonly known as the bitter bolete or the bitter tylopilus, is a fungus of the bolete family. Its distribution includes east Asia, Europe and eastern North America, extending south into Mexico and Central America. A mycorrhizal species, it grows in deciduous and coniferous woodland, often fruiting under beech and oak. Its fruit bodies have convex to flat caps that are some shade of brown, buff or tan and typically measure up to in diameter. The pore surface is initially white before turning pinkish with age. Like most boletes it lacks a ring and it may be distinguished from ''Boletus edulis'' and other similar species by its unusual pink pores and the prominent dark-brown net-like pattern on its stalk. French mycologist Pierre Bulliard described this species as ''Boletus felleus'' in 1788 before it was transferred into the new genus '' Tylopilus''. It is the type species of ''Tylopilus'' and the only member of the genus found in Europe. ''Tylopil ...
