Xerocomus

Xerocomus is a genus of fungi which is closely related to Boletus. Many mycologists do not recognize the distinction.

Most members of Xerocomus are edible.

Ladurner and Simonini published a monograph on Xerocomus in 2003.

Molecular phylogenetic studies strongly imply that Xerocomus is a heterogeneous genus of polyphyletic origin.
