Polyporoletus

P. sublividus P. neotropicus Polyporoletus is a genus of fungi in the family Albatrellaceae.

The genus was first described by mycologist Walter H. Snell in 1936 to accommodate an unusual terrestrial polypore with a stipe that had been found in the ground in pine-oak woods in Fentress County, Tennessee.

[1] He named this specimen Polyporoletus sublividus; the generic name refers to the possible relationship to both the boletes and the polypores.

Although this species would be later transferred to the genus Scutiger,[2] it is now considered to be Polyporoletus.

[3] Currently there is only one other species in the genus, P. neotropicus Mata & Ryvarden (2007).
