Exsudoporus permagnificus
Species of fungus / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Exsudoporus permagnificus is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae, native to Southern Europe and Western Asia (Cyprus and Israel).[1][2] Described as new to science in 1981, the fungus was originally placed in genus Boletus.[3] Following molecular studies outlining a new phylogenetic framework for Boletaceae,[4][5] the fungus was transferred to the newly erected genus Exsudoporus in 2014, to which it is the type species.[6] Nevertheless, Wu and colleagues (2016) were reluctant to accept the newly proposed genus due to a lack of sufficient sequences and regarded it a synonym of Butyriboletus.[7] Following studies reinstated the status of Exsudoporus as a monophyletic genus sister to Butyriboletus, following additional collections and extended phylogenetic and morphological analyses.[8][2]

Exsudoporus permagnificus is rare throughout its distribution area and listed as a vulnerable or endangered species in a number of regional and national checklists.[9][10][8] It forms ectomycorrhizal associations with oaks (Quercus), particularly Quercus suber, Quercus ilex, Quercus pubescens, Quercus alnifolia, Quercus calliprinos, Quercus pyrenaica and less often with sweet chestnut (Castanea sativa).[1][11][8][2]
