Tylopilus oradivensis is a bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. Found in the Talamanca Mountains of Costa Rica, it was described as new to science in 2010 by mycologists Todd Osmundson and Roy Halling. The bolete fruits scattered or in groups under oak trees, at elevations ranging between 1,600 and 1,850 m (5,250 and 6,070 ft). The specific epithet combines the words ora ("coast"), dives ("rich"), and the suffix ensis ("from a place") to refer to the type locality.[1]
