Borofutus, a new genus of Boletaceae from tropical Asia: phylogeny, morphology and taxonomy
TLDR
A new monotypic genus in the Boletaceae, Borofutus, typified by B. dhakanus, is described using morphological and molecular evidence and is sister to Spongiforma in molecular phylogenetic analyses using DNA nucleotide sequences of single or multiple loci.
Diversity, Biogeographic Distribution, Ecology, and Ectomycorrhizal Relationships of the Edible Porcini Mushrooms (Boletus s. str., Boletaceae) Worldwide: State of the Art and an Annotated Checklist

Cacaoporus, a new Boletaceae genus, with two new species from Thailand
Abstract We introduce a new genus, Cacaoporus, characterised by chocolate brown to dark brown basidiomata and hymenophore, tubes not separable from the pileus context, white to off-white basal…
Spongispora temasekensis, a new boletoid genus and species from Singapore
TLDR
Phylogenetic analyses of five loci indicate that Spongispora is nested in the subfamily Leccinoideae of the Boletaceae, most closely related to an inclusive clade of Leccinum, Leccinellum, Octaviania, Rossbeevera, and Turmalinea.
Strobilomyces echinocephalus sp. nov. (Boletales) from south-western China, and a key to the genus Strobilomyces worldwide
Strobilomyces echinocephalus Gelardi & Vizzini sp. nov. is described as a new species, based on collections from Kunming (Yunnan Province, China). Macro-morphological and micro-morphological…
Ionosporus: a new genus for Boletus longipes (Boletaceae), with a new species, I. australis, from Australia
TLDR
A new genus, which is described here as Ionosporus, allied to Borofutus, Spongiforma, and Rhodactina of subfamily Leccinoideae, is allied to Boletus, Porphyrellus, nor Austroboletus and it is inferred to be a separate new species, I. australis.
Phylogenetic affinities of the sequestrate genus Rhodactina (Boletaceae), with a new species, R. rostratispora from Thailand
TLDR
Phylogenetic analyses of a three-gene dataset showed that all Rhodactina species formed a monophyletic clade, sister to the genera Spongiforma and Borofutus in subfamily Leccinoideae with high support, and a new species, Rhodactine rostratispora, is introduced with detailed macroscopic and microscopic descriptions and illustrations.
The Genus Leccinum (Boletaceae, Boletales) from China Based on Morphological and Molecular Data
TLDR
Nine Leccinum species from China were revealed, including three new species, namely L. album, L. parascabrum and L. pseudoborneense, and detailed descriptions of the new species were presented.
Phylogenetic overview of the Boletineae.
The genus Retiboletus in China
TLDR
A preliminary biogeographical analysis shows that allied species of Retiboletus between eastern Asia and North/Central America are common but there are no Retibo letus species common to both continents.

Potential link between plant and fungal distributions in a dipterocarp rainforest: community and phylogenetic structure of tropical ectomycorrhizal fungi across a plant and soil ecotone.
TLDR
One of the largest molecular studies to date of an ectomycorrhizal community in lowland dipterocarp rainforest demonstrates the potential link between the distribution of tropical tree diversity and the distribution in relation to local-scale edaphic variation.
Molecular systematics and biological diversification of Boletales
TLDR
The backbone of the Boletales was moder- ately resolved in the analyses with the nuc-lsu dataset, but support was strong for most major groups, and most brown-rot producing forms were placed as a paraphyletic grade at the base of theBoletales.
Molecular systematics and biological diversification of Boletales
TLDR
The backbone of the Boletales was moderately resolved in the analyses with the nuc-lsu dataset, but support was strong for most major groups, including Boletineae and Suillineae, which are strongly supported as monophyletic.
Host islands within the California Northern Channel Islands create fine‐scale genetic structure in two sympatric species of the symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungus Rhizopogon
TLDR
Both species show similar patterns of genetic differentiation as a result of limited dispersal between host populations as revealed by a significant isolation by distance relationship, and is most likely a function of the small foraging range of the few mammals that disperse Rhizopogon on these islands and the enormous spore bank characteristic of Rhizobogon species.
