Pulchroboletus is a fungal genus in the family Boletaceae. It was circumscribed in 2014 to contain the species formerly known as Xerocomus roseoalbidus, a rare bolete fungus originally described from Sardinia, Italy. Pulchroboletus roseoalbidus is found in Mediterranean Europe, where it grows in association with oak species and less often Cistus species.[1] In 2017, the species Boletus rubricitrinus was moved to Pulchroboletus.[4] Pulchroboletus rubricitrinus can be found under Quercus in lawns in Florida and Texas.[4]
