Description:
Diagnosis: Pileus dry, glabrous to fibrous-subsquamose, microscopically a trichodermium. Context white to pale yellow, staining blue or brown in some. Hymenophore adnexed, white then pale yellow, with pores staining blue or brown in some. Stipe dry, glabrous or fibrous-subfurfuraceous, hollow or solid, composed of circumferentially arranged hyphae (not longitudinal). Universal veil sometimes present and manifested by an obscure ridge on stipe. Spores yellow in deposit, smooth, ellipsoid. Hymenial cystidia present. Clamp connections present.
Registration number: MB #17715
Type species: Boletus cyanescens Bull.
Ectomycorrhiza: Presumed with Pinaceae, Fagaceae, Betulaceae, Myrtaceae, Casuarinaceae(?).
Distribution: North Temperate and Pantropical; rare in the southern hemisphere, but widely distributed in Australia.
Commentary: Phylogenetic inference places the genus in the Sclerodermatineae.
