Genus: Xerocomus

Genus 2: Boletus

Species: hemixanthus

Other Information: Yellowish cap flesh DNS or may blue slightly. Stem has raised, reddish-brown ribs by the pores. White to yellowish-white mycelium.

Science Notes: DNA testing of identified samples moved this mushroom into the newly erected genus “Xerocomus,” but/and knowledgeable experts from the region suggest that both this species and Xerocomus hypoxanthus should be merged with/into Boletus ochraceoluteus – which may well belong in either Xerocomus or Xerocomellus.
