Tylopilus funerarius

Tylopilus funerarius is a bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. Found in Singapore, it was described as new to science in 1909 by English mycologist George Edward Massee. He described it as a "sombre, uninviting species, characterised by brownish-black velvety pileus and brown tube and pores", and considered it similar in appearance to Boletus chrysenteron (now Xerocomellus chrysenteron).^[2] The species was transferred to the genus Tylopilus in 1981.^[3]
