 | Secotioid agarics and boletes are morphological intermediates between normal epigeous mushrooms and hypogeous false-truffles. |
| We speculate that most or all extant secotioid boletes are also relatively recent and are unlikely to be the ancestors of the false truffles. |
| We hypothesize this because virtually all of the secotioid boletes are also rare and limited in range, and many have morphologies that suggest close relationships to extant species groups or sections of genera (18, 20). |

| Secotioid mushrooms lack the geotropic[?] orientation of the hymenophore, and basidiospores are not actively shot off, thus they are statismospores. |
| Perhaps an intermediate stage between hymenomycetes and gasteromycetes where gasteromycetation has occurred. |
