Genera & Species

Phylloporus

Phylloporus Quél.

The only European member of this genus is instantly recognized due to the peculiar structure of its gilled hymenophore (see the illustrations under P. pelletieri). Molecular studies show that P. pelletieri is closely related to the xerocomoid boletes around Xerocomus subtomentosus. For purely practical purposes it is here retained in a genus on its own.
