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.

Moved text:

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

Eats only young specimens
Avoids mushrooms with red or orange pore surfaces
Avoids those that stain or bruise blue to green (a common trait)
Avoids all Leccinium species with an orange cap

You can eat mushrooms and they are good for you.

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earthballs, and all kinds of other stuff to Boletales, I'm pretty certain the "70 species" reference is firmly out-of-date. Serpent's Choice 23:27, 5 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

"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)[reply]
