Talk:Boletales

Is it Boletes or Boletales? Text uses "boletes", but article is named "boletales". -- Cimon Avaro on a pogostick

Bolete is the common name. Boletales is the scientific name. I'll go make that clear in the article. - Rei

Boletales is an 'order' which is a high-level classification and includes more than just Boletes! It also includes gilled mushrooms such as Paxillus and Gomphidius. I think that Boletes correspond to the family Boletaceae (plus the newer small family Gyroporaceae which used to be considered part of Boletaceae).

So I have made a new page 'Boletaceae' and moved the following text there. I hope you agree with this change.

Boletes are a relatively safe group of mushrooms for human consumption (none are known to be deadly to adults), provided that one:

You can eat mushrooms and they are good for you.
 * 1) Eats only young specimens
 * 2) Avoids mushrooms with red or orange pore surfaces
 * 3) Avoids those that stain or bruise blue to green (a common trait)
 * 4) Avoids all Leccinium species with an orange cap

Two of the best common edible boletus however are bay boletus, whose gills bruise blue-green, and orange birch boletus, which is a Leccinum (not Leccinium) with an orange cap and which bruises a bluish grey (but which should not be eaten raw)

Note that to be safe, a positive identification should always still be made before consumption. Additionally, just because something is edible doesn't mean that it should be eaten, or will taste good at all.  I removed the species count. With the addition of the false truffles, earthballs, and all kinds of other stuff to Boletales, I'm pretty certain the "70 species" reference is firmly out-of-date.

"Boletes," "Boletales," confusion
First, the authority is


 * Gilbert, E.J. 1931. Les Livres du Mycologue Tome I-IV, Tom. III: Les Bolets. :1-254

He included gilled species in the order. If some one wants a copy of it let me know.

Second, the bolete mycologists that I know use "bolete" as a general name for any member of the Boletales. Also, pigment data placed quie a few gasteroid and secotioid species into the order well before any molecular data. In fact, Rhizopogon was placed there before molecular data, partially with pigment data I believe, just like Chamonixia.

I also do not understand why the defunct Strobilomycetaceae is mentioned. M.E.Nuhn (talk) 00:59, 1 November 2013 (UTC)
