Durianella is a fungal genus in the suborder Boletineae, family Boletaceae of the order Boletales.
[4] The fungus was originally collected in a jungle in Kemaman, Trengganu (Malaysia), on 24 June 1932, where it was found growing on soil buried in leaves at a river's edge.
Genetic analysis suggested it was a member of the Boletales suborder Boletineae, and not related to the genus Hydnangium of the Agaricales.
The white fibrous tissue surrounding the gleba lobules also turns blue on cutting.
[4] Durianella echinulata is found under trees of the genus Shorea in Peninsular Malaysia and Borneo.
