1. Bolete

   A bolete is a type of mushroom, or fungal fruiting body. It can be identified thanks to a unique mushroom cap. The cap is clearly different from the stem. On the underside of the cap there is usually a spongy surface with pores, instead of the gills typical of mushrooms. However, there are some boletes that are gilled, such as species of Chroogomphus, Gomphidius, Paxillus, Phylloporus and Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca. "Bolete" is the English common name for fungus species whose mushroom caps have this appearance. The boletes are classified in the order Boletales. Not all members of the order Boletales are boletes. The micromorphology and molecular phylogeny of the order Boletales have established that it also contains many gilled, puffball, and other fruit body shapes. A similar pore surface is found in polypores, but these species generally have a different physical structure from boletes, and have different microscopic characteristics than boletes. Many polypores have much firmer, often woody, flesh. Boletes are susceptible to infection by the fungus Hypomyces chrysospermus, also known as the bolete eater.

1. Bolete

   A bolete is a type of fungal fruiting body characterized by the presence of a pileus that is clearly differentiated from the stipe, with a spongy surface of pores on the underside of the pileus. "Bolete" is also the English common name for fungal species having this kind of morphology. The boletes are classified in the Boletales; however, not all members of that order are boletes. Recent discoveries in the micromorphology and molecular phylogeny of this group have established that it also contains a large number of agarics, gasteromycetes, and other fruiting body morphologies. Similar pore surface is found in polypores, but these species usually lack the overall physical structure of boletes, many have much firmer flesh, and lack the microscopic characters of boletes. Generally, the term refers to members of the genus Boletus, but as superficially similar fungi have been placed in other genera, many of them have retained the common name. These include: ⁕Birch bolete - Leccinum scabrum ⁕Bitter bolete - Tylopilus felleus ⁕Chestnut bolete - Gyroporus castaneus ⁕Manzanita bolete - Leccinum manzanitae ⁕Rhubarb bolete - Boletellus obscureococcineus
