K. Zeng, Zhi Q. Liang & M.S. Su, Phytotaxa 343 (3): 271, 2018
Habitat.
Solitary or gregarious on the ground in forests dominated by fagaceous trees including
Lithocarpus
spp. or
Castanopsis kawakamii
Hay.
Distribution.
Southeastern and southern China; Japan (
Terashima et al. 2016
).
Note.
Tylopilus callainus
N.K. Zeng et al. was described from the south of China (
Liang et al. 2018
). This taxon was previously thought to be different from
B. virescens
Har. Takah. & Taneyama, a species described from Japan (
Terashima et al. 2016
). After a careful re-evaluation of specimens, we now know that the two taxa are conspecific, and
T. callainus
is synonymized with
B. virescens
. Clarifying the taxonomic relationship between the two taxa also indicated that the
B. virescens
is a member of
Tylopilus
, and thus the new combination is proposed. Illustrations and a full description have been provided by
Liang et al. (2018)
.
