Boletaceae
The Boletaceae are a Family (biology), family of mushroom-forming fungi, primarily characterised by small pores on the spore-bearing hymenium, hymenial surface (at the underside of the mushroom), instead of Lamella (mycology), gills as are found in most agarics. Nearly as widely distributed as the agarics, the family is renowned for hosting some prime edible species highly sought after by mushroom hunting, mushroom hunters worldwide, such as the Boletus edulis, cep or king bolete (''Boletus edulis''). A number of rare or threatened species are also present in the family, that have become the focus of increasing conservation biology, conservation concerns. As a whole, the typical members of the family are commonly known as boletes. Boletes are a group of mushrooms reasonably safe for human consumption, as none of them are known to be deadly to adults. Edible bolete species are especially suitable for novice collectors, since they pose little danger of being confused with deadly p ...

Pulveroboletus
''Pulveroboletus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. The genus has a cosmopolitan distribution and contains 41 species. Taxonomy The genus was first described by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1909. He defined species in the genus as having a cap and stem "clothed with a conspicuous sulphur-yellow, powdery tomentum, which may be the remains of a universal veil: context white, fleshy; tubes adnate, yellowish, covered with a large veil: spores oblong-ellipsoid, ochraceous-brown: stipe solid, annulate, not reticulate." Murrill set ''Pulveroboletus ravenelii'' as the type species. Species The genus consists of the following species: Former species *''Pulveroboletus acaulis'', moved to ''Buchwaldoboletus acaulis'' *''Pulveroboletus flaviporus'', moved to ''Aureoboletus flaviporus'' *''Pulveroboletus parvulus'', moved to ''Buchwaldoboletus parvulus'' *''Pulveroboletus phaeocephalus'', moved to ''Xerocomus phaeocephalus'' *''Pulveroboletus viridis'', moved ...
