Genus of fungi
Caloboletus is a fungal genus in the family Boletaceae. It was circumscribed by Italian mycologist Alfredo Vizzini with "Caloboletus calopus" as the type species. The erection of "Caloboletus" follows recent molecular studies that outlined a new phylogenetic framework for the Boletaceae. "Boletus peckii" was also transferred to this genus by Vizzini, but was subsequently moved to the genus "Butyriboletus" based on molecular evidence. The generic name "Caloboletus", derived from the Greek "calos" "nice", refers to the attractive red coloring of the stipe.
