Boletus semigastroideus

Boletus semigastroideus is a species of secotioid fungus in the family Boletaceae. It was originally described in 1942 as "Secotium areolatum" by New Zealand-based mycologist Gordon Herriot Cunningham and then renamed as "Notholepiota areolata" as the type species of the genus "Notholepiota" by Egon Horak in 1971. A molecular phylogenetics study found it to belong in "Boletus sensu stricto", but the name "Boletus areolatus" was preoccupied, so it was renamed "Boletus semigastroideus".
