Charles Christopher Frost

American botanist (1805-1880).

Charles Christopher Frost (November 11, 1805 – March 16, 1880) was an American mycologist. He described several species of fungi from the New England area of the United States. In one paper, Frost described 22 new species of boletes, and he was later credited with the discovery of three additional species. His personal herbarium of specimens were given to the University of Vermont in 1902. Portions of his collection today are distributed between the Farlow Herbarium at Harvard University, the New York State Museum, the Bell Museum of Natural History, and the Buffalo Museum of Science.

Suillus salmonicolor (Slippery Jill) (Frost) Halling 1983
edible fungi species in the suillaceae family
Suillus salmonicolor, commonly known as the Slippery Jill, is a fungus in the family Suillaceae of the order Boletales. First described as a member of the genus Boletus in 1874, the species acquired several synonyms, including Suillus pinorigidus and Suillus subluteus, before it was assigned its current binomial name in 1983. It has not been determined with certainty whether S. salmonicolor is distinct from the species S. cothurnatus, described by Rolf Singer in 1945. The mushroom's dingy yellow to brownish cap is rounded to flattened in shape, slimy when wet, and grows up to 8 cm (3 in)
Harrya chromipes (Chrome-footed Bolete) (Frost) Halling, Nuhn, Osmundson & Manfr. Binder 2012
edible fungi species in the boletaceae family
Harrya chromapes, commonly known as the yellowfoot bolete or the chrome-footed bolete, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. In its taxonomic history, Harrya chromapes has been shuffled to several different genera, including Boletus, Leccinum, and Tylopilus, and is known in field guides as a member of one of these genera. In 2012, it was transferred to the newly created genus Harrya when it was established that morphological and molecular evidence demonstrated its distinctness from the genera in which it had formerly been placed. The fruit bodies have smooth, rose-pink caps
Russula flavida Frost ex Peck 1880
fungi species in the russulaceae family
Russula flavida is a member of the large mushroom genus Russula.
Retiboletus griseus (Gray Bolete) (Frost) Manfr. Binder & Bresinsky 2002
fungi species in the boletaceae family
Retiboletus griseus, commonly known as the gray bolete, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae.
Caloboletus firmus (Boletus Firmus) (Frost) Vizzini 2014
fungi species in the boletaceae family
Caloboletus firmus is a bolete fungus native to North America. Until 2014, it was known as Boletus firmus. Changes in the phylogenetic framework of the family Boletaceae prompted the transfer of this species, along with several other related boletes, including Caloboletus calopus, to the genus Caloboletus. It was first described scientifically in 1874 by American botanist Charles Christopher Frost from specimens collected in New England.
Aureoboletus russellii (Russell's Bolete) (Frost) G. Wu & Zhu L. Yang 2016
fungi species in the boletaceae family
Aureoboletus russellii, commonly known as the jagged-stemmed bolete or Russell's bolete, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. The fruit bodies are characterized by their coarsely shaggy stem. The yellow-brown to reddish-brown caps are initially velvety, but become cracked into patches with age. An edible species, it is found in Asia and eastern North America, where it grows in a mycorrhizal association with oak, hemlock, and pine trees.
Porphyrellus sordidus (Frost) Snell 1945
fungi species in the boletaceae family
Porphyrellus sordidus is a bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. It was originally described in 1874 by Charles Christopher Frost as a species of Boletus. Fruit bodies of the fungus have a convex to flattened cap measuring 4.5–13 cm (1.8–5.1 in) in diameter. The brownish cap surface is initially tomentose to felt-like, but develops cracks in age. All parts of the mushrooms bruise dark blue to greenish when injured. The spore print is reddish brown; spores are smooth, roughly elliptical, and measure 10–14 by 4–6 μm. The bolete is found in North America, where it grows on the ground under
Butyriboletus peckii (Frost) Kuan Zhao & Zhu L. Yang 2015
fungi species in the boletaceae family
Butyriboletus peckii is a fungus of the genus Butyriboletus native to eastern North America. It was first described by Charles Christopher Frost in 1878. Until 2014, it was known as Boletus peckii. Recent changes in the phylogenetic framework of the Boletaceae prompted the transfer of this species, along with several other related boletes, including Caloboletus calopus, to the genus Caloboletus. In 2015, Kuan Zhao and colleagues published analysis that demonstrated that the bolete belongs to Butyriboletus, closely related to Butyriboletus pulchriceps.
Aureoboletus innixus (Clustered Brown Bolete) (Frost) Halling, A.R. Bessette & Bessette 2015
fungi species in the boletaceae family
Aureoboletus innixus is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. Found in eastern North America, it was first described scientifically by Charles Christopher Frost in 1874, from collections made in New England. An edible mushroom, the convex cap grows to 3–8 cm (1.2–3.1 in) wide and is dull reddish brown to yellow brown. The stem is 3–6 cm (1.2–2.4 in) long by 1–1.6 cm (0.4–0.6 in) thick, but often swollen at the apex with a tapered base. It has a bright yellow pore surface when young that dulls in color when mature. There are about 1 to 3 pores per mm when young, but they expand
Suillus serotinus (Frost) Kretzer & T.D. Bruns 1996
fungi species in the suillaceae family
Suillus serotinus is a species of bolete fungus found in eastern North America. Originally described as a species of Boletus by American botanist Charles Christopher Frost in 1874, it was transferred to Suillus in 1996. The bolete has a dark red brown and sticky cap up to 12 cm (4.7 in) in diameter. The pore surface is initially white before turning reddish brown in age; the angular pores number from 1 to 3 per millimeter. Mushroom flesh slowly stains bluish after injury, later becoming purplish gray then finally reddish brown. The fungus grows in a mycorrhizal association with larch and
