Pulveroboletus sinensis

Pulveroboletus sinensis is a species of blue staining bolete fungus of the family Boletaceae and the genus Pulveroboletus found in the Guangdong Province in China.^[1] It is characterized by its yellow to vivid-yellow pulverulent cap which can darken to a deep orange at the center, and is covered with deep-orange to brown-orange conico-pyramidal scales. The cap is cyanescent when cut or bruised, while the stem does not stain.^[1] These scales distinguish P. sinensis from a closely related species Pulveroboletus brunneopunctatus.^[2]
