Buchwaldoboletus sphaerocephalus is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae native to Europe, North America and Southwest Australia.

Taxonomy and naming

Originally described by Jean-Baptiste Barla as Boletus sphaerocephalus in 1859, it was given its current name by Roy Watling & Tai Hui Li in 2004. [1]

Description

The cap is convex, glabrous, silky and tomentose, viscid when wet. Its color is yellow to yellow-fulvus. The pores are small, tubes short, adnate ventricose, and context yellow, bluing when bruised. The stipe is fleshy, ventricose, and there is a yellow mycelium at the stipe base.[2]

Spores are ovoid, pale ochraceous and measure 5.5–7.2 by 3.3–4.5 µm.[2]

Distribution and ecology

Buchwaldoboletus sphaerocephalus has been recorded in Europe, North America and Southwest Australia, growing in clusters on sawdust of pines, often in enclosed areas.[2]
