Taxonomy and naming

Originally described by David Norman Pegler as Pulveroboletus brachyspermus in 1983, it was given its current name by Ernst Both and Beatriz Ortiz-Santana in "A Preliminary Survey of the Genus Buchwaldoboletus", published in Bulletin of the Buffalo Society of Natural Sciences in 2011.[1]

Description

The cap is convex and viscid. Its color is brown. Unlike many Buchwaldoboletus species, the skin is not separated from the flesh by a thin gelatinous layer. The pores are small and angular, olivaceous yellow, bruising greenish blue. The stipe is russet-colored with a yellow floccose layer over the basal area, and there is a yellow bluing mycelium at the stipe base.[2]

Spores are small and measure 4.7–6.2 by 3.5–4.2 µm.[2]

Distribution and ecology

Buchwaldoboletus brachyspermus has been recorded in Martinique, growing on decaying wood of dicotyledon plants in xero-mesophytic forests.[2]
