Hortiboletus
Hortiboletus is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. It was circumscribed in 2015 by Giampaolo Simonini, Alfredo Vizzini, and Matteo Gelardi. The erection of "Hortiboletus" follows recent molecular studies that outlined a new phylogenetic framework for the Boletaceae. "Hortiboletus" is derived from the Latin word "hortus" "garden", referring to a typical habitat of the type species, "Hortiboletus rubellus". The bolete "H. bubalinus", originally described as a "Boletus" and later placed in "Xerocomus", was transferred to the genus by Bálint Dima. In 2015, Alona Yu. Biketova transferred "Boletus campestris" and "Boletus engelii" to "Hortiboletus".
