Rubroboletus le-galiae (Boletales, Basidiomycota), a species new for Poland

Abstract

Rubroboletus le-galiae is reported for the first time from Poland. Macro- and micromorphological characters of the species are described and illustrated based on the study of material collected at three microlocalities in Łężczok reserve (SW Poland). The delimitation of R. le-galiae from related species of the genus Rubroboletus (R. satans, R. rubrosanguineus, R. rhodoxanthus) is shortly discussed and the knowledge of its ecology and distribution is briefly summarized.
