Boletellus cremeovelosus (Boletaceae), a species that shows complete absence of reddish/pinkish tints on basidiome from the beginning with fuflly/soft squamules on pileus, is described from the state of Pernambuco, in Northeast Brazil. We also revised exsiccates of B. ananas var. ananas and B. ananas var. minor. Regarding to the presence of thick-walled cheilocystidia in the paratype of the last variety, we conclude that represent an immature basidiome of B. ananas var. crassotunicatus, representing a new record from South America.
Tylopilus nigripes sp. nov. is described from an Atlantic Forest fragment in the state of Paraíba, Northeast Brazil. The new species is characterized by the small basidioma with a brownish pileus and blackish stipe, rufescent hymenophore turning blackish during handling, and whitish non‐bluing context that changes fuscous to pale vinaceous upon exposure. Microscopically, the size and shape of the basidiospores, the boletoid tube trama, the pileipellis that is a trichodermial palisade, and the frequently septate cheilocystidia are also diagnostic features of the new species.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
