Description
Genus: Boletus
- Genus 2: On its way to Lanmaoa based on whole genome testing of the holotype
Species: miniatopallescens
Common Name:
Tells: Species Concept In Flux. Avoid using this name for now.
Other Information: This species has confused foragers for well over 100 years. Most people have a concept that is actually the species Pulchroboletus sclerotiorum or its as-yet-unpublished sister species P. pseudosclerotiorum (Nom. Prov.). Please refer to one of those if the keys have led you here. Those keys will also be rewritten after publication.
Edibility:
Science Notes: Whole genome testing of the holotype by Professor Colin Domnauer of the Dentinger lab is about to rewrite the concepts for a number of species in the “greater bicolor” group. This is one of them, and your humble author respectfully declines to steal any thunder in advance of publication. Suffice it to say the vague but broad species concept assigned to this name has evolved over the years into something that actually belongs with a set of different, more modern names in the genus Pulchroboletus. This species is actually a Lanmaoa. Details will follow at the appropriate time.
CHEMICAL TESTS:
- NH4OH (Ammonia): No data
