Boletaceae

Pine bolete (Boletus pinophilus )

Dickröhrlingsverwandte ( Boletaceae ), short boletes, are a family of the Department of Mushroom Fungi ( Basidiomycota ) from the kingdom of fungi (Fungi ). In Central Europe, about 50 species are listed in 15 genera. The Dickröhrlingsverwandten include coveted mushrooms ( porcini, Rotkappen ) and rare large mushrooms ( Boletus oxen, Wine Red Purple Boletus ).

Features

Boletes usually have large, fleshy fruiting bodies with the eponymous tubes on the bottom of the hat. In this easily removable, spongy tube layer, the spores are formed. Boletes majority live in symbiosis with the roots of higher plants (usually trees ) ( mycorrhiza ).

Among the Dickröhrlingsverwandten there are many good edible mushrooms such as porcini and chestnut boletes and very few inedible or poisonous boletes and Satan as bile - Boletus. They are therefore very popular among collectors. Characteristic in many species are strong green-blue discoloration of the flesh and the tubes for pressure or injury, usually caused by derivatives of Pulvinsäure.

According to some authors the Strubbelkopfröhrlinge is a separate family ( Strobilomycetaceae ) and are closely related to the boletes ( Boletaceae ). Bon she keeps counting even to the Röhrlingsverwandten and places them in a subfamily Strobilomycetoidae.
