Primary Citation:

Alessioporus and Pulchroboletus (Boletaceae, Boletineae), two novel genera for Xerocomus ichnusanus and X. roseoalbidus from the European Mediterranean basin: molecular and morphological evidence.
Mycologia 106: 1176. 2014
Accepted Name:

This name is currently accepted.
Description:

Diagnosis: According to the protologue: the type and only species, differs from Alessioporus by the pastel pink, cream-pinkish to whitish pink or rarely blood red pileus surface, the smooth to densely punctuate stipe surface, rarely with a coarse reticulum, the pseudo-annulus usually located in the upper ormiddle part of the stipe, the pinkish lilac context of the pileus and unique ITS, LSU and tef-1a sequences.

Registration number: MB 80531

Distribution: Rare in Mediterranean regions of Europe in association with Fagaceae (primarily Quercus sp.)

Commentary: Phylogenetic inference suggests recognition with bare robustness to distinguish the type species from Alessioporus with alliance to Xerocomus and Hemileccinum.
