Butyriboletus fechtneri is a basidiomycete fungus in the family Boletaceae. It was formerly regarded as a species of Boletus, but in 2014 was transferred to the newly erected genus Butyriboletus, after molecular data revealed that it is a member of the "Regius" clade (named after B. regius), quite distant from the core clade of B. edulis and closely allied species. [1] [2]
Butyriboletus fechtneri is native to Europe, where it forms ectomycorrhizal associations with various broad-leaved trees of the family Fagaceae, particularly oak ( Quercus), beech ( Fagus) and chestnut ( Castanea). [3] [4] [5] So far it has been molecularly confirmed from Austria, Bulgaria, Cyprus, Estonia, France, Spain and Sweden. [6] It is considered an endangered species in the Czech Republic. [7]
Recent molecular phylogenetic studies have shown regional populations of B. fechtneri to be highly variable genetically, suggesting they might be in the process of speciation. [6] [8]
