| Abstract: | This work is a taxonomic study of nine species in the ectomycorrhizal fungal family Boletaceae (Basidiomycota) from Neotropical rainforests of Guyana, in northeastern South America. Morphospecies collections from the following genera were studied: Tylopilus, Boletellus, Austroboletus, and Fistulinella. Of these taxa, five were deemed to be new species and were given complete descriptions, distributions, visual documentation of salient features, and accompanying holotype collections. The remaining four taxa were deemed to have been previously described and were thus given new distribution records, and accompanying taxonomic descriptions which highlighted salient features that differed in the material studied from the material previously described. New taxa include Tylopilus orsonianus, Boletellus exiguus, Boletellus dicymbophilus, Boletellus piakaii, and Fistulinella cinereoalba. New distribution records were given to Tylopilus eximius, Boletellus ananas var. ananas, Austroboletus rostrupii, and Austroboletus festivus. |
