Leccinellum albellum |
Leccinellum is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. Mycologists Andreas Bresinsky and Manfred Binder circumscribed the genus in 2003 to contain Leccinum species with a yellow pore surface and a trichoderm-like cap cuticle. Leccinellum nigrescens (originally Leccinum nigrescens Singer 1947) was designated the type species;[1] this taxon has since been renamed to Leccinellum crocipodium (Letell.) Della Maggiora & Trassinelli.[2]
The oak-associating Leccinellum quercophilum was described from the United States in 2013.[3]
