Boletellus emodensis, commonly known as the shaggy cap, is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae. It was described by English mycologist Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1851 as Boletus emodensis, [2] and transferred to Boletellus by Rolf Singer in 1942. [3] Characterised by a distinctive reddish shaggy cap, it grows in eucalypt woodlands. It produces a brown spore print, and has fusiform (spindle-shaped) spores that are 16–20 by 7–9 μm with longitudinal grooves. It is similar in appearance to Boletellus ananiceps, but the latter species is scaly rather than shaggy, has a pinkish tint, and lacks grooves in the spores. [4]
