Commentary: Cribb noted originally the striking similarity to members of the Boletaceae. Firstly, there is the obvious cyanescence, and the pigmentation of the stipe and remainder of the pileal disc. Secondly, the convoluted hymenophore appears to be somewhat subporoid and tends toward a greeenish yellow color.

Type: In silvam, Mt. Glorious, Queensland, 19.ii.1955, J. W. Cribb (BRI).
