Boletus aurantiosplendens

Boletus aurantiosplendens is a species of fungus native to eastern North America.

Timothy J Baroni described the species in 1998, from material collected near Franklin in Macon County, North Carolina.

[2] The species name is from the Latin words aurantium "orange",[3] and splendens "bright".

[5] The mushrooms appear from July to September,[5] in humus in mixed woodlands under North American beech (Fagus grandifolia), oak (Quercus), hickory (Carya), red maple (Acer rubrum), American tulip tree (Liriodendron tulipifera) and shortleaf pine (Pinus echinata).

It has therefore been proposed that this species be rated as near threatened on the IUCN Red List.
