Species

Rossbeevera is a genus of sequestrate (truffle-like) fungi in the family Boletaceae. It was first published in 2012 under the erroneous name Rosbeeva,[1] but was corrected to Rossbeevera in the same issue.[2] The genus was created to contain species formerly placed in Chamonixia, but characterized by having ellipsoid to spindle-shaped spores with 3–5 longitudinal ridges, bluish-green to deep blue fruit body staining reaction, and a thin whitish peridium. The Chinese species R. yunnanensis is the earliest diverging lineage within the genus, and has a close phylogenetic relationship with the bolete genera Turmalinea and Leccinellum.[3] [4]

The genus name Rossbeevera honours Ross Beever (1946–2010), a New Zealand botanist and mycologist.[5]
