Description:
Diagnosis: Pileus dry or subviscid, glabrous, microscopically a trichodermium. Context pale yellow or white or rarely pale pinkish, staining blue in some. Hymenophore adnate to subdecurrent, tubulose or rarely boletinoid, dull red, cinnamon brown, carmine to salmon pink, not staining or rarely staining blue. Stipe dry, pruinose to glabrous, with bright yellow basal mycelium. Spore deposit brown. Spores fusoid or short ellipsoid, smooth. Hymenial cystidia present. Clamp connections absent.
Registration number: MB #17277
Type species: Boletus piperatus Bull.:Fr., Syst. Mycol. 1: 388. 1821.
Ectomycorrhiza: Pinaceae, Fagaceae. Putatively mycoparasitic on Amanita muscaria (at least C. piperatus)
Distribution: North Temperate and Pantropical. Some dubious reports as a native taxon in So Hemisphere. Chalciporus piperatus is an exotic invasive in Australia, New Zealand where it appears associated with Amanita muscaria in pine plantations and more recently with Nothofagus in native habitats. Possibly native in New Zealand, but also exotic. An exotic invasive in Australia.
