Butyriboletus taughannockensis Safonov Image location: Taughannock Falls State Park, Trumansburg, New York, USA Description (transcribed from short-hand field notes, with additional details inferred from photographs): Pileus: Up to 14 cm (5.5”) wide at maturity, ¾ spherical at first, then hemispherical and finally broadly plano-convex; margin incurved at first, becoming de-curved, typically uneven and wavy all around or at least partially, with a prominent, curved band of sterile tissue present at first but generally disappearing in age; pellicle dry, faintly tomentose to minutely scruffy on the disk and almost smooth toward the margin at first, becoming uniformly smooth, bald and minutely rimose-areolate toward the periphery at maturity, covered with appressed, short, dark and interwoven fibrils and tiny scruffy tufts when young and fresh (the fibrils generally oriented radially from the disk center, taking on the appearance of being merely “painted” in the two older basidiomes), rich chamoisse to pinkish cocoa brown when young, becoming lighter in age on the disk and turning yellowish-brown toward the periphery, not discoloring in any way when touched or bruised; context dense and firm when young and less so in age, light to medium lemon yellow immediately above the tubes and more or less homogeneously paler yellow above when young, becoming faintly yellow maturity, not changing color at all when exposed to air, with light brownish-burgundy discoloration around larval tunnels; odor not distinct to faintly pleasant and somewhat fungal; taste mild at first, with a sour/lemony note perceived in a few seconds, and then becoming mild to non-distinct again (tasting caused a minor and reversible ulceration of the tip of the tongue). Hymenophore: pore surface medium honey yellow to dingy egg-yolk yellow at first, becoming rich butter yellow and finally greenish mustard yellow at maturity, not bluing when touched or bruised, but the ground color merely intensifying upon injury, uniformly smooth when immature and prominently bumpy/pitted and uneven in age; pores closed and shut when young, circular to oval and 1-2 per mm at maturity; tubes 1 mm deep when very young and up to 17 mm deep at maturity, more or less concolorous with the pore surface, not bluing or discoloring when cut or exposed to air. Stipe: Up to 10 cm (~4”) long; up to 1.8 cm (0.71”) wide at apex, up to 2.2 cm (0.87”) wide in the middle, and up to 3.2 cm (1.26”) wide at base [these dimensions correspond to the stipe of the largest immature plant, as it’s actually longer and thicker than that of the oldest specimen], oval-shaped in cross-section in all specimens, clavate to subclavate to almost equal, with a somewhat bulbous base, L-shaped to slightly bent to shallowly S-shaped to almost straight; surface uniformly pale/dull lemon yellow, with a brighter, richer yellow apex and with the base/bulb covered with a whitish bloom at first, gradually and uniformly assuming a light pinkish-brown or light vinaceous-brown coloration from the base all the way up to the apex in age, with a few random darker vinaceous-burgundy stains/areas when young, not bluing when handled or injured, prominently but not coarsely reticulated from the apex down to at least mid-length; reticulation somewhat raised, mesh small and very densely weaved in the apex, becoming wider-meshed and progressively elongated below, gradually changing over to a network of raised longitudinal ridges and then trailing off to a smooth surface toward the base, generally concolorous with the background color or slightly darker (especially after being handled); context generally whitish to grayish in the cortex, increasingly pale grayish-brown toward the base and in the bulb, with a continuous and narrow (2-3 mm) light to medium lemon-yellow band just below the stipe surface stretching from the juncture with the cap down to ⅔ of length, not bluing when exposed to air, firm and dense most specimens and more spongy-fibrous in the youngest one. Spore print color: Light greenish olive. Macrochemical tests: KOH = medium brown quickly changing to rusty orange-brown on pellicle; dark honey yellow-brown on cap context; pale orange on stipe context. NH3 (aq.) = rusty orange-brown on pellicle (similar to KOH reaction), flashing instantly with a wide vinaceous-purple halo around the droplet due to the ammonia vapors; pale yellow to pale greenish mustard yellow on cap context; pale orange on stipe context (similar to KOH reaction); FeSO4 = instantly grayish olive-green on pellicle; same but lighter on cap context; faint greenish-olive on stipe context. Microscopic features: Mounted in Melzer’s, [40/1/1]; L x W = (10.1-) 10.5-12.8 (-13.3) x 3.5-4.0 (-4.3) μm; L’ x W’ = 11.4 × 3.7 μm; Q = (2.75-) 2.81-3.41 (-3.50); Q’ = 3.07; not amyloid, not dextrinoid, light buff to light straw, inequilateral, fusiform in face-view and subfusiform in lateral-view, smooth and thin-walled, cylindrical to bacilliform based on the Q-ratio range. Fruiting: A single post-mature specimen growing in a few yards away from a group of 3 immature specimens in leaf litter in a stand of mostly young and old oaks mixed in with other young hardwood trees next to the South Rim Trail. The woods on the southern side of the gorge circumscribed by the trail and paved Gorge Road range from pure hemlock stands (the trailhead section), to a mixed hemlock-hardwood forest to extensive areas of thin, exclusively deciduous woodlands. No hemlocks or other conifers were observed in the vicinity of the collection location. Comments: The post-mature fruiting body was discovered first. Originally, it gave a strong impression of an old B. separans, owing to the coloration of the cap and stipe, and was almost discarded. Searching the immediate area led to the detection of the three young specimens at the base on an oak tree. The connection between the two collections was not immediately recognized, despite their proximity, as the immature fruiting bodies looked nothing like the aged one, till the specimens were examined more closely. The identical chemicals tests (on the pellicle) helped confirm both collections are very likely to be the same taxon. Sequencing Results and Discussion: >> A clean and contiguous 1438 bps nrLSU sequence has been obtained for this material and posted to this observation in the comment below. A GenBank BLAST search of the full-length sequence did not return any meaningful hits, which is consistent with most, if not all, full-length sequences I ever ran through GB. A search a sequence fragment (the first 978 bases) was more successful: the first 32 hits (97-99% identity) were all members of Butyriboletus. Interestingly, the top two hits were R. Chapman’s Butyriboletus pulchriceps vouchers (867/876 = 99.0% similarity, no gaps; 888/898 = 98.9% similarity, 1 gap). B. pulchriceps has recently been transferred to Butyriboletus together with two other North American taxa, Caloboletus peckii and B. roseopurpureus, by Zhao et al. (2015) based on molecular sequencing of relevant vouchers. I have already expressed my skepticism with regard to the transfer of peckii to Butyriboletus vis-à-vis my own obs 246697, which I think is a good candidate for Peck’s Bolete. B. roseopurpureus is an outlier to Butyriboletus in the Butter bolete study of Arora and Frank (2014). >> A 690 bps nrITS sequence was also procured for this material. As far as I can tell, there are issues with the quality of this sequence, such as the presence of more than one haplotype, a non-specificity problem that precluded obtaining a contiguous end-to-end read, and a shorter than usual length (as compared with other ITS sequences I obtained over the years), suggesting missing sections/deletions. Hence, the present sequence is the merger of forward and reverse reads “stitched” at a problematic non-specific region. Depending on the quality of raw data, there could be read errors in this or other regions. The nrITS sequence was subjected to a BLAST GB database search. After analyzing the alignments, the unusual “deca-T” motif present in the middle of the sequence read of MO250839 (a string of 10 consecutive tyrosines) was identified as a problematic region, responsible for some of the observed deletions and insertions seen in the GB sequences. Still, notwithstanding the apparent quality issues with the nrITS sequence and the lower GB identity scores stemming for this problem, the BLAST list of the 100 top-scoring hits was exclusively comprised of members of Butyriboletus. Examination of the GB data revealed that the “multi-T” motif (usually 5 or 6 consecutive T’s and as many as 9 consecutive T’s in B. pulchriceps, acccession #KT002604) appears to be a defining genetic feature seen in Butyriboletus species. Conclusions: MO250839 has all the major phenotypic hallmarks of a Butter Bolete. The nrLSU and nrITS sequencing data are also in good agreement with this proposal. The combination of morphological traits and molecular data both indicate that MO250839 is a novel species belonging in Butyriboletus. The closest genetic relative appears to be Butyriboletus pulchriceps. In light of the above information, I propose Butyriboletus taughannockensis Safonov, sp. nov. for this taxon. This name has been registered with Index Fungorum. An IF Nomeclatural Novelty e-publication has just been published (1-18-17): http://www.indexfungorum.org/....
