Chalciporus

28 species Chalciporus is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae (suborder Boletineae).

[7] Wu and Yang proposed that this clade be called the subfamily Chalciporoideae.

[8] The genus Rubinoboletus was merged into this genus based on their morphological similarity,[9] and subsequent genetic analysis—mainly due to Rubinoboletus (now Chalciporus) rubinus being nested within Chalciporus.

[3][8] Members of the genus Chalciporus have boletoid fruit bodies with pores that are various shades of red to pink, stipes lacking in reticulations, yellow mycelium and smooth oval spores.

[3] Two species, C. chontae and C. radiatus, have pores that are arranged in furrows that radiate out from the top of the stipe under the cap and resemble gills.
