Boletus chrysenteron Bull. (1789)
Xerocomus chrysenteron Quél.
Boletus pascuus (Pers.) Krombh.
Xerocomellus chrysenteron, formerly known as Boletus chrysenteron or Xerocomus chrysenteron, is a small, edible, wild mushroom in the family Boletaceae. These mushrooms have tubes and pores instead of gills beneath their caps. It is commonly known as the red cracking bolete.
This mushroom was first described and named as Boletus communis in 1789 by the eminent French botanist Jean Baptiste Francois Pierre Bulliard. Two years later in 1791 it was given the specific epithet chrysenteron by the same author. The species name coming from the Ancient Greek words khrysos "gold" and enteron "innards". Almost one hundred years later in 1888 Lucien Quelet placed it in the new Xerocomus genus, and retained the chrysenteron epithet. This binomial was generally accepted for almost another hundred years, until 1985 when Marcel Bon decided to resurrect the former specific epithet communis, which resulted in the binomial Xerocomus communis. It now resides back in the Boletus genus, and sports its 1791 binomial, and authority once again, and is currently known as Boletus chrysenteron Bull. Recent phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of X. chrysenteron as the type species of the new genus Xerocomellus, described by Šutara in 2008.
