Status

Fuscoboletinus weaverae was described from Minnesota and seems to be a distinct species. In addition, research suggests that many records of Suillus granulatus from eastern North America may be Fuscoboletinus weaverae. Further research is needed to determine the distribution of these species.

Suillus weaverae

Suillus weaverae (sometimes incorrectly referred to as Suillus granulatus in North America) is a bolete mushroom in the genus Suillus found in the United States and Canada. Previously thought to only exist in small numbers in Minnesota, Suillus weaverae has been rediscovered as a species wherever Suillus granulatus has been described in the Eastern United States.[1][2][3]
