Description:
Diagnosis: This genus circumscribes the typically somber colored-taxa placed in Tylopilus with very dark brown to dark pinkish brown colored spore print. They are often cyanescent and/or rufescent and then nigrescent. The hymenophore is usually not pinkish vinaceous with maturity, but rather a pale greenish yellow to nearly black. Based on the European P. pseudoscaber nom. inval. (= P. porphyrosporus). A distinct genus inferred from DNA sequences. Further taxon discovery and phylogenetic inference is needed.
Registration number: MB18353
Type species: Boletus porphyrosporus Fries & Hok in Fries, Boleti Fungorum generis illustatio. 13. 1835
Ectomycorrhiza: Fagaceae, Pinaceae, Myrtaceae, Casuarinaceae, Dipterocarpaceae?, Nothofagaceae?, caesalipinoid legumes?
Distribution: No. temperate into neotropics and northern So. America, Africa?, Asia, SE Asia, Australia, New Zealand
