Notes – Aureoboletus (Boletaceae, Basidiomycota) is a relatively small but cosmopolitan genus; species in this genus can be found in tropical, subtropical and temperate regions of different continents, especially rich in Asia and North America (Klofac 2010; Wu et al. 2016a; Zhang et al. 2019). This group of fungi can form ectomycorrhizal symbiosis with an array of ectotrophic plants of the families Fagaceae, Myrtaceae and Pinaceae (Pouzar 1957; Yang et al. 2003; Klofac 2010; Wu et al. 2016a; Zhang et al. 2019). Phylogenetic analyses demonstrated that Aureoboletus is a monophyletic group, and about 50 species have been reported worldwide (Klofac 2010; Wu et al. 2016a; Zhang et al. 2019; Wang et al. 2020b).
