Boletus
''Boletus'' is a genus of mushroom-producing fungi, comprising over 100 species. The genus ''Boletus'' was originally broadly defined and described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, essentially containing all fungi with hymenial pores instead of gills. Since then, other genera have been defined gradually, such as '' Tylopilus'' by Petter Adolf Karsten in 1881, and old names such as ''Leccinum'' have been resurrected or redefined. Some mushrooms listed in older books as members of the genus have now been placed in separate genera. These include such as ''Boletus scaber'', now '' Leccinum scabrum'', ''Tylopilus felleus'', ''Chalciporus piperatus'' and ''Suillus luteus''. Most boletes have been found to be ectomycorrhizal fungi, which means that they form a mutualistic relationship with the roots system of certain kinds of plants. More recently, ''Boletus'' has been found to be massively polyphyletic, with only a small percentage of the over 300 species that have been assigned to ''Boletus'' ...

Boletus Edulis
''Boletus edulis'' (English: cep, penny bun, porcino) is a basidiomycete fungus, and the type species of the genus ''Boletus''. It is prized as an edible mushroom. The fungus produces Basidiospore, spore-bearing basidiocarp, fruit bodies above ground in summer and autumn. The fruit body has a large brown pileus (mycology), cap which on occasion can reach , rarely in diameter and in weight. Like other boletes, it has tubes extending downward from the underside of the cap, rather than gills; spores escape at maturity through the tube openings, or pores. The pore surface of the ''B. edulis'' fruit body is whitish when young, but ages to a greenish-yellow. The stout Stipe (mycology), stipe, or stem, is white or yellowish in colour, up to , rarely tall and thick, and partially covered with a raised network pattern, or wikt:reticulate, reticulations. The fungus grows in deciduous forest, deciduous and coniferous forests and tree plantations, forming symbiotic Mycorrhiza ...

Boletus Aereus
''Boletus aereus'', commonly known as the dark cep, bronze bolete, or queen bolete, is a highly prized and much sought-after edible mushroom in the family Boletaceae. The bolete is widely consumed in Spain (Basque Country (greater region), Basque Country and Navarre), France, Italy, Greece, and generally throughout the Mediterranean. Described in 1789 by French mycology, mycologist Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard, Pierre Bulliard, it is closely related to several other European boletes, including ''Boletus reticulatus, B. reticulatus'', ''Boletus pinophilus, B. pinophilus'', and the popular ''Boletus edulis, B. edulis''. Some populations in North Africa have in the past been classified as a separate species, ''Boletus mamorensis, B. mamorensis'', but have been shown to be phylogenetics, phylogenetically conspecific to ''B. aereus'' and this taxon is now regarded as a synonym. The fungus predominantly grows in habitats with broad-leaved trees and s ...

Boletus Barrowsii
''Boletus barrowsii'', also known in English as the white king bolete after its pale colored cap, is a species of fungus in the genus ''Boletus''. It was formerly considered a color variant of '' B. edulis''. It can be found under ponderosa pine and live oak in western North America during autumn. It is edible and highly regarded. Taxonomy The species was officially described by American mycologists Harry D. Thiers and Alexander H. Smith in 1976 from a specimen collected near Jacob Lake, Arizona, on August 21, 1971, by amateur mycologist Charles "Chuck" Barrows, who had studied the mushroom in New Mexico. It was previously held to be a white colour form of ''B. edulis''. A 2010 molecular study found that ''B. barrowsii'' was sister to a lineage that gave rise to the species ''B. quercophilus'' of Costa Rica and ''B. nobilissimus'' of eastern North America. Description The cap is in diameter, initially convex in shape before flattening, w ...

Chalciporus Piperatus
''Chalciporus piperatus'', commonly known as the peppery bolete, is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae. Described by Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard, Pierre Bulliard in 1790 as ''Boletus piperatus'', it is only distantly related to other members of the genus ''Boletus'' and was reclassified as ''Chalciporus piperatus'' by Frédéric Bataille in 1908. The genus ''Chalciporus'' was an early branching lineage (evolution), lineage in the Boletaceae and appears to be related to boletes with parasitic properties. A small bolete, the basidiocarp, fruit body has a orange-fawn pileus (mycology), cap with small cinnamon to brown pores underneath. The stipe (mycology), stipe is long and . The trama (mycology), flesh has a very peppery taste. The rare variety (botany), variety ''hypochryseus'', found only in Europe, has yellow pores and tubes. The species is found in mixed woodland in Europe and North America. It has been recorded under introduced species, introduced tr ...

Tylopilus
''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 species '' 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", from the Greek ''tylos'' "bump" and ''pilos'' "hat". Molecular analysis indicates the genus, like other large genera within the Boletales, is polyphyletic. A lineage of ''Tylopilus chromapes'' (now ''Harrya chromapes'' and related species ...

Mushroom
A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing Sporocarp (fungi), fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or another food source. ''Toadstool'' generally refers to a poisonous mushroom. The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, ''Agaricus bisporus''; hence, the word "mushroom" is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (Stipe (mycology), stipe), a cap (Pileus (mycology), pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. Lamella (mycology), lamella) on the underside of the cap. "Mushroom" also describes a variety of other gilled fungi, with or without stems; therefore the term is used to describe the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota. The gills produce microscopic Spore#Fungi, spores which help the fungus spread across the ground or its occupant surface. Forms deviating from the standard Morphology (biology), morphology usually have more specific names, such as "bolete", " ...

Suillus Luteus
''Suillus luteus'' is a bolete fungus, and the type species of the genus ''Suillus''. Commonly referred to as slippery jack or sticky bun in English-speaking countries, its names refer to the brown pileus (mycology), cap, which is characteristically slimy in wet conditions. The fungus, initially described as ''Boletus luteus'' ("yellow mushroom") by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, is now classified in a different fungus family (biology), family as well as genus. The fruit body cap often has a distinctive conical shape before flattening with age, reaching up to in diameter. Like other boletes, it has Fungal tubes, tubes extending downward from the underside of the cap, rather than lamella (mycology), gills; spores escape at maturity through the tube openings, or pores. The pore surface is yellow, and covered by a membranous partial veil when young. The pale Stipe (mycology), stipe, or stem, measures up to 10 cm (4 in) tall and thick and bears small dots near the top. Unlike mo ...

Tylopilus Felleus
''Tylopilus felleus'', commonly known as the bitter bolete or the bitter tylopilus, is a fungus of the Boletaceae, bolete family. French mycologist Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard, 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. The basidiocarp, fruit bodies have convex to flat pileus (mycology), caps that are some shade of brown, buff (colour), buff or tan (color), 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 annulus (mycology), 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 stipe (mycology), stalk. Its distribution includes east Asia, Europe and eastern North America, extending south in ...

Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...

Ancient Greek
Ancient Greek (, ; ) includes the forms of the Greek language used in ancient Greece and the classical antiquity, ancient world from around 1500 BC to 300 BC. It is often roughly divided into the following periods: Mycenaean Greek (), Greek Dark Ages, Dark Ages (), the Archaic Greece, Archaic or Homeric Greek, Homeric period (), and the Classical Greece, Classical period (). Ancient Greek was the language of Homer and of fifth-century Athens, fifth-century Athenian historians, playwrights, and Ancient Greek philosophy, philosophers. It has contributed many words to English vocabulary and has been a standard subject of study in educational institutions of the Western world since the Renaissance. This article primarily contains information about the Homeric Greek, Epic and Classical periods of the language, which are the best-attested periods and considered most typical of Ancient Greek. From the Hellenistic period (), Ancient Greek was followed by Koine Greek, which is regar ...

Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard
Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard (; 24 November 1752 in Aubepierre-sur-Aube Haute-Marne – 26 September 1793 in Paris), also known simply as Pierre Bulliard, was a French physician and botanist. Bulliard studied in Langres, where he became interested in natural history, and afterwards a position was obtained for him in the abbey in Ville-sous-la-Ferté, Clairvaux and later he moved to Paris where he study medicine. There he also practiced as a physician. He tutored the son of General :fr:Claude Dupin, Claude Dupin (1686-1769). He was an able draughtsman and also learnt to engrave. He invented a way of printing natural history plates in colour and used the method in his own publications. In 1779 he commenced a work on the poisonous plants of France. It was seized by the police on the grounds that it was a dangerous work. Bulliard's ''Dictionnaire Elémentaire de Botanique'' (1783) contributed to the spreading and consolidation of botanical terminology and the Linnaean ...
