Leccinum versipelle (Orange Birch Bolete) (Fr.) Snell 1944
edible fungi species in the boletaceae family
Leccinum versipelle, also known as Boletus testaceoscaber, dark-stalked bolete, or orange birch bolete, is a common species of mushroom that may be edible when given the right preparation. It is found below birches from July through to November, and turns black when cooked.
Suillus americanus (Chicken Fat Mushroom) (Peck) Snell 1944
edible fungi species in the suillaceae family
Suillus americanus is a species of mushroom-forming fungus in the family Suillaceae. Commonly known as the chicken fat mushroom and the American suillus, it produces bright yellow, often slimy caps marked with red to reddish-brown scales, a pore surface of large yellow angular pores that can stain brownish when bruised, and a slender yellow stipe dotted with darker glandular spots. The species was first described in the late 19th century by the American mycologist Charles Horton Peck and later transferred to Suillus. It closely resembles S. sibiricus, and DNA-based studies have led some
Xerocomellus zelleri (Zeller's Bolete) (Murrill) Snell 1944
edible fungi species in the boletaceae family
Xerocomellus zelleri, commonly known as Zeller's bolete, is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae. First described scientifically by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1912, it has been juggled by various authors to several genera, including Boletus, Boletellus, and Xerocomus. The fruit bodies are distinguished by their dark reddish brown to nearly black caps with uneven surfaces, the yellow pores on the underside of the caps, and the red-streaked yellow stems. The development of the fruit bodies is gymnocarpic, meaning that the hymenium appears and develops to maturity in
Suillus tomentosus (Blue-staining Slippery Jack) Singer, Snell & E.A. Dick 1960
fungi species in the suillaceae family
Suillus tomentosus is a species of fungus. The common names of the species are blue-staining slippery jack, poor man's slippery Jack, and woolly-capped suillus. Found in North America, the mushroom is edible for most people, but may cause gastric upset in others; it also resembles some poisonous species.
Auriscalpium villipes (Lloyd) Snell & E.A. Dick 1958
fungi species in the auriscalpiaceae family
Auriscalpium villipes is a species of fungus in the family Auriscalpiaceae of the Russulales order. It is a spine fungus that grows on dead wood, and is found in Brazil and Mexico.
Xanthoconium purpureum Snell & E.A. Dick 1962
fungi species in the boletaceae family
Xanthoconium purpureum is a species of bolete fungus in the genus Xanthoconium. It was described as new to science in 1962 by Wally Snell and Esther Dick in 1962. It is found in eastern North America, where it fruits under oak, sometimes in oak-pine forests.
Tylopilus plumbeoviolaceus (Violet-grey Bolete) (Snell & E.A. Dick) Snell & E.A. Dick 1941
fungi species in the boletaceae family
Tylopilus plumbeoviolaceus (formerly Boletus plumbeoviolaceus), commonly known as the violet-grey bolete, is a fungus of the bolete family. First described in 1936, the mushroom has a disjunct distribution, and is distributed in North America and Korea. The fruit bodies of the fungus are violet when young, but fade into a chocolate brown color when mature. They are solid and relatively large—cap diameter up to 15 cm (6 in), with a white pore surface that later turns pink, and a white mycelium at the base of the stem. The mushroom is inedible. A number of natural products have been identified
Suillus subluteus (Peck) Snell 1944
fungi species in the suillaceae family
Suillus subluteus is a species of mushroom in the genus Suillus. First described as Boletus subluteus by Charles Horton Peck in 1887, it was transferred to Suillus by Wally Snell in 1944. It is found in North America.

Polyporoletus Snell 1936
fungi genus in the albatrellaceae family
Polyporoletus is a genus of fungi in the family Albatrellaceae. The genus was first described by mycologist Walter H. Snell in 1936 to accommodate an unusual terrestrial polypore with a stipe that had been found in the ground in pine-oak woods in Fentress County, Tennessee. He named this specimen Polyporoletus sublividus; the generic name refers to the possible relationship to both the boletes and the polypores. Although this species would be later transferred to the genus Scutiger, it is now considered to be Polyporoletus. Currently there are two other species in the genus, P. neotropicus

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
Boletus flammans (Flame Bolete) E.A. Dick & Snell 1965
fungi species in the boletaceae family
Boletus flammans is a species of bolete fungus found in North America. It was described scientifically by Esther A. Dick and Wally Snell in 1965. As of 2011, its edibility remained unknown.
Suillus subaureus (Peck) Snell 1944
fungi species in the suillaceae family
Suillus subaureus is a rare species of bolete fungus in the family Suillaceae. It is found in North America, where it associates with deciduous trees. Originally described in 1887 by Charles Horton Peck, it was transferred to genus Suillus by Wally Snell in 1944. Fruitbodies are pale yellow—reflecting its specific epithet subaureus, which means "somewhat golden yellow". The spore print is olive brown. Spores are smooth and inamyloid, and measure 7–10 by 2.7–3.5 μm. It has also been recorded in Taiwan. A recent study of this species indicates that S. subaureus associates with both deciduous
