Description:
Latin diagnosis: Pileus siccus, brunneus, margine sterili. Contextus flavidus pallidus immutabilis vel lazulinus. Sapor mitis. Hymenophorum tubulosum, griseofulvum tum olivaceum, immutabile, poris flavis pallidis, brunneis, transmutantes. Stipes ±glaber, flavissimuss, si contusus cinnamomeo-brunneus, ad basim albam si contusam roseam tum salmoneam. Basidiosporae levae, inamylodeae. Pseuodocystidia in hymenio prasentibus, mucronata, aurea. Fibulae nullae.
Type: COSTA RICA. CARTAGO: Estrella, ±5 km E of km 31 of Interamerican Highway, near town of Estrella, 9°46'4"N, 83°57'19"W, 1717 m, 21 Jul 1993, Halling 7043 (HOLOTYPE: USJ, ISOTYPE: NY).
Habit, habitat, and distribution: Gregarious on soil under either Quercus oocarpa Liebm. or Q. insignis Mart. and Gal. Currently only known from one site in the northern Cordillera Talamanca.
Commentary: Boletus lychnipes superficially resembles B. auripes Peck in overall coloration, but the latter taxon has a conspicuously reticulate stipe over the upper half and doesn't stain brown or salmon pink on the stipe. The conspicuously sterile margin and prominent pseudocystidia are also characteristic for B. lychnipes.
