Buchwaldoboletus brachyspermus is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae native to Martinique.
Taxonomy and naming
[edit]Originally described by David Norman Pegler as Pulveroboletus brachyspermus in 1983, it was given its current name by Ernst Both and Beatriz Ortiz-Santana in "A Preliminary Survey of the Genus Buchwaldoboletus", published in Bulletin of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences in 2011.[1]
Description
[edit]The cap is convex and viscid. Its color is brown. Unlike many Buchwaldoboletus species, the skin is not separated from the flesh by a thin gelatinous layer. The pores are small and angular, olivaceous yellow, bruising greenish blue. The stipe is russet-colored with a yellow floccose layer over the basal area, and there is a yellow bluing mycelium at the stipe base.[2]
Spores are small and measure 4.7–6.2 by 3.5–4.2 μm.[2]
Distribution and ecology
[edit]Buchwaldoboletus brachyspermus has been recorded in Martinique, growing on decaying wood of dicotyledon plants in xero-mesophytic forests.[2]
