Phylloporus foliiporus (Murr.) Phillips & Kibby comb. nov. Basionym Phylloporus rhodoxanthus ssp. foliiporus (Murr.) Singer Cap 2-14cm across, convex then soon flattened, margin incurved; maroon to dull brown, fading to ochre-brown, tan with age; dry, subtomentose. Tubes (pseudogills) decurrent, distant, broad, often forked with transverse veins, especially at their bases; pale whitish to yellowish, bruising strongly deep blue, finally deep brownish. Stem 16-55 x 5-20mm, tapered below; concolorous with cap, olivaceous below. Flesh soft; yellowish-white, blueing when cut. Odor pleasant. Taste pleasant. Spores subfusiform ellipsoid, smooth,11-15 x 4.5-5.8µ. Deposit yellow-brown to slightly olivaceous. Habitat on sandy soil under mixed conifers and oak. Often abundant. Found in Florida and the New Jersey pine barrens. Season August-September. Edible. Comment Because the characters by which it differs from Phylloporus rhodoxanthus - the blueing flesh and longer spores - are exactly those characters traditionally used in the differentiation of species in the Boletaceae, it is felt that specific status is warranted for this distinctive fungus. Intermediates have not been noted between the two and their range of distribution overlaps, further evidence of their being two separate species.
