505D87AEB4618F60E4DDFE36EE7AF9B4.taxon	description	Pileus up to 8 cm diam., convex, tomentose, matt, dry, hazel-brown to buff-brown, becoming dark blue black when bruised. Cap margin slightly incurved. Stipe up to 9 cm long, up to 3.5 cm wide, cylindrical, tapered, sometimes rooting, lemon-yellow, without a network; stipe surface becoming intensely blue black after handling; basal mycelium white. Context initially lemon-yellow or greenish yellow, becoming intensely dark blue when exposed to air and then gradually fading to greenish. Tubes up to 12 mm long, adnate and slightly decurrent, initially lemon-yellow, then yellow olivaceous, turning blue green or blue black when bruised. Pores medium sized, angular or irregular, lemon-yellow; becoming dark blue when injured. Smell slightly acidulous. Taste mild, slightly acidulous. Spores 11 – 13 × 5 – 5 · 5 μm (distribution of average values from 4 collections, 182 spores), ellipsoidal, sometimes weakly fusiform, smooth, thick-walled, guttulate, light yellow brown. Caulocutis fertile. Pileipellis a trichoderm of intertwined septate hyphae, consisting in cylindrical, filamentose cells (3 · 5 –) 5 – 6 (– 7 · 5) μm broad, mostly widely and finely incrusted on the surface, and also with yellow-brown intracellular pigment. Crystals on the surface of hymenium are visible under SEM microscope.	en	Biketova, Alona Yu., Rinaldi, Andrea C., Simonini, Giampaolo (2022): Nomenclatural novelties: Alona Yu. Biketova, Andrea C.

505D87AEB4618F60E4DDFE36EE7AF9B4.taxon	discussion	Notes: Based on Boletus pulverulentus Opat. sensu Biketova et al., New, noteworthy, and rare species of the genus Boletus in Israel. Plant Biosystems 150 (5): 883 (2016). A species with boletoid basidiomes, close to Cyanoboletus pulverulentus (Opat.) Gelardi, Vizzini & Simonini, the latter based on findings of north-east Europe (Opatowski, Wiegmann Archiv für Naturgeschichte 2 (1): 27. 1836), which is distinguished from C. mediterraneensis by the different genetic characteristics and the prevailing distribution, which also includes temperate and continental climates.	en	Biketova, Alona Yu., Rinaldi, Andrea C., Simonini, Giampaolo (2022): Nomenclatural novelties: Alona Yu.
