Description:
Distribution: Australia: Queensland, Tasmania (TYPE), Victoria
Protologue: 196. Boletus fruticicola, n. sp.; pileo amplo convexo glabrato rubido; stipite aequli glabriusculo laevi e mycelio glebam fruticolam formante oriente; tubis liberis compositis ore aurantioflavo. Gunn, No. 1775. HAB. Penguite, attached to roots of Pleurandra riparia. Solitary or slightly cespitose.
Additional text from protologue: Pileus fleshy, convex, at length occasionally cracked towards the margin, smooth red, five inches across. Stem nearly smooth, not reticulate, equal or slightly attenuated below, springing from a mass of earth traversed by mycelium, and surrounding the roots or base of the stems of Pleurandra riparia. Pores perfectly free, leaving a deep pit round the stem, compound irregular pale orange-yellow. Spores obovate, pointed below, of nearly the same size and shape as in B. chrysenteron. Allied to the above-mentioned species, but differeing in several particulars, and very remarkable from its peculiar habit, in which, perhaps, B. sulphureus, Krombholz, alone agrees with it. In the larger solitary specimens, the character of the free tubes is not so strongly marked.
Note: The locality "Penguite" as published is a typographical error - it should be "Penquite" near Launceston, Tasmania, where the collector, R.C. Gunn lived and worked.
