Boletes, the best known members of the order Boletales are mushrooms characterized by holding their spores in a spongy mass of vertical tubes (pores) on the underside of the mushroom, instead of on gills (as are found in agarics). Boletes belong to the botanical families Boletaceae and Gyroporaceae, the latter small group previously not having been separated.

The order also includes some gilled mushrooms (Paxillus, Gomphidius, ...) which have the same flesh texture as the Boletes, spore-bearing tissue which is also easily separable from the cap, and similar microscopic characteristics of spores and cystidia.


The order Boletales has about 70 species (0,4% of the described homobasidiomycetes).


The polypores (order Polyporales) are similar to Boletales in that their spore-bearing structures consist of a layer of vertical tubes. However their flesh has a much tougher consistency and they are not closely related taxonomically. Polypores are a group of tough, leathery poroid mushrooms similar to boletes, but typically lacking a distinct stalk. ...

The Boletes ("Boletales")


  Results from FactBites:
 
Boletales (309 words)
An analysis employing parsimony and character compatibility methods is carried out for selected species in the various families constituting the order Boletales s.l.
The results indicate that Paxillaceae is paraphyletic, actually representing a primitive matrix from which many of the other families have evolved.
Fischer, M. Zur Systematik der Boletales: Isolierung und Kennzeichnung von DNA aus Fruchtkörpern und Mycelkulturen.
Phylogenetic relationships of cyphelloid and aquatic homobasidiomycetes (628 words)
The Boletales are diverse in both morphology and ecology.
Members of the Boletales obtain carbon nutrition by entering into ectomycorrhizal symbioses or by decaying wood, and a few are suspected to be mycoparasites.
For example, poor resolution of the basal clades of Boletales makes it difficult to infer the ancestral form of the group; lack of understanding of generic boundaries makes it difficult to assess relationships of newly discovered species; and ambiguous species limits within many clades are a barrier to ecology and biodiversity studies.
