Z. chlorinosma Z. citrina Z. erythrocephala Z. olivacea Z. olivaceobrunnea Z. roseola Zangia is a genus of bolete fungi in the family Boletaceae.
Zangia species grow in forests dominated by Fagaceae (beeches and oaks) mixed with Pinaceae (pines).
Studying pink-pored boletes from China, mycologists Yan Chun Li, Bang Feng, and Zhu L. Yang showed using molecular phylogenetic analysis that several species–some still undescribed–were part of a unique genetic lineage distinct from other Boletaceae genera.
[1] The generic epithet honors mycologist Mu Zang, known for his research on the Boletales of China.
[1] Zangia is distinguished from other Boletaceae genera by the following features: a wrinkled cap, a pinkish to pink pore surface on the cap underside, a pink to pinkish brown spore print, pink scabrous small scales (squamules) on the stipe, a chrome-yellow to golden yellow stipe base, and chrome-yellow to golden yellow mycelia on the base of the stipe.
