We introduce a new genus, Cacaoporus, characterised by chocolate brown to dark brown basidiomata and hymenophore, tubes not separable from the pileus context, white to off-white basal mycelium, reddening when bruised, amygdaliform to ovoid spores and dark brown spore deposit. Phylogenetic analyses of a four-gene dataset (atp6, tef1, rpb2 and cox3) with a wide selection of Boletaceae showed that the new genus is monophyletic and sister to the genera Cupreoboletus and Cyanoboletus in the Pulveroboletus group. Two new species in the genus, C. pallidicarneus and C. tenebrosus are described from northern Thailand. Full descriptions and illustrations of the new genus and species are presented. The phylogeny also confirmed the reciprocal monophyly of Neoboletus and Sutorius, which further support the separation of these two genera.

In the last decade or so, since molecular techniques and phylogenetic analyses have been used in taxonomy and systematics of the Boletaceae, many new species and genera have been described worldwide (e.g. Halling et al. 2012, 2016;
During our survey on the diversity of boletes in Thailand, several collections of brown to chocolate to dark brown boletes were obtained. Some collections bearing resemblance to Sutorius Halling, Nuhn & N.A. Fechner species, which typically have brown or reddish to purplish-brown basidiomata with reddish to purplish-brown hymenophore, reddish-brown spore deposit and narrowly ellipsoid to ellipsoid basidiospores (Halling et al. 2012). However, our chocolate brown bolete collections also showed differences, in particular in having a darker hymenophore, as well as in some microscopic characters like spore shape. We therefore performed a family-wide phylogeny, which showed that those brown to chocolate to dark brown boletes belong in a generic lineage, different from Sutorius. Consequently, we introduce the new Boletaceae genus Cacaoporus and describe two new species, C. pallidicarneus and C. tenebrosus, with full descriptions and illustrations.
Fresh basidiomata were collected in Chiang Mai Province, northern Thailand during the rainy season in 2013 to 2018. The specimens were photographed in situ, wrapped in aluminium foil and taken to the laboratory. After description of macroscopic characters, the specimens were dried in an electric drier at 45–50 °C. Examined specimens were deposited in the herbaria CMUB, MFLU, BKF and BR (listed in Index Herbariorum; Thiers, continuously updated).
Macroscopic descriptions were made, based on detailed field notes and photos of fresh basidiomata. Colour codes were taken from
Genomic DNA was extracted from fresh tissue preserved in CTAB or about 10–15 mg of dried tissue using a CTAB isolation procedure adapted from
The sequences were assembled in GENEIOUS Pro v. 6.0.6 (Biomatters) and introns were removed prior to alignment based on the amino acid sequence of previously published sequences. All sequences, including sequences from GenBank, were aligned using MAFFT (
Maximum Likelihood (ML) phylogenetic inference was performed using RAxML (
For Bayesian Inference (BI), the best-fit model of substitution amongst those implementable in MrBayes was estimated separately for each gene using jModeltest (
A total of 325 sequences were newly generated and deposited in GenBank (Table
The four-gene analyses retrieved the six subfamilies (Austroboletoideae, Boletoideae, Chalciporoideae, Leccinoideae, Xerocomoideae, Zangioideae) as monophyletic (Fig.
Phylogenetic tree inferred from the four-gene dataset (atp6, cox3, rpb2 and tef1), including Cacaoporus species and selected Boletaceae using Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian Inference methods (ML tree is presented). The two Buchwaldoboletus and nine Chalciporus species in subfamily Chalciporoideae were used as outgroup. Most of the taxa not belonging to the Pulveroboletus group were collapsed into subfamilies. All genera clades in Pulveroboletus group that were highly supported were also collapsed. Bootstrap support values (BS ≥ 70%) and posterior probabilities (PP ≥ 0.90) are shown above the supported branches.
Our phylogeny also showed that thirteen Sutorius species including S. brunneissimus (W.F. Chiu) G. Wu & Zhu L. Yang, S. ferrugineus G. Wu, Fang Li & Zhu L. Yang, S. flavidus G. Wu & Zhu L. Yang, S. hainanensis (T.H. Li & M. Zang) G. Wu & Zhu L. Yang, S. junquilleus (Quél.) G. Wu & Zhu L. Yang, S. magnificus (W.F. Chiu) G. Wu & Zhu L. Yang, S. obscureumbrinus (Hongo) G. Wu & Zhu L. Yang, S. rubriporus G. Wu & Zhu L. Yang, S. sanguineoides G. Wu & Zhu L. Yang, S. sanguineus G. Wu & Zhu L. Yang, S. tomentulosus (M. Zang, W.P. Liu & M.R. Hu) G. Wu & Zhu L. Yang and S. venenatus (Nagas.) G. Wu & Zhu L. Yang clustered in the Neoboletus clade with high support (85% BS and 0.95 PP), while the true Sutorius, including the typus generis S. eximius (Peck) Halling, Nuhn & Osmundson, formed a different well-supported clade (BS=100% and PP=1).

Refers to the dark, chocolate brown hymenophore and overall colour of basidiomata.
Similar to the genus Sutorius in having brown basidiomata with brown encrustations in the flesh but differs from Sutorius in having the following combination of characters: brown to chocolate brown or greyish-brown to dark brown or blackish-brown basidiomata, without violet tinge, chocolate brown to dark brown hymenophore, tubes not separable from the pileus context, white to off-white basal mycelium which turns reddish-white to pale red when bruised, amygdaliform to ovoid with subacute apex in side view to ovoid basidiospores and dark brown spore deposit.
Basidiomata stipitate-pileate with poroid hymenophore, small to medium-sized, dull, brown to greyish-brown to dark brown or blackish-brown. Pileus convex when young becoming plano-convex to slightly depressed with age, with deflexed to inflexed margin; surface even to subrugulose, minutely tomentose or slightly cracked at the centre; context soft, yellowish to greyish off-white then slightly greyish-orange to dull orange to greyish-brown when exposed to the air, patchy or marmorated with greyish-brown to dark brown, sometimes with scattered small dark brown to brownish-black encrustations, not or inconsistently reddening when cut. Hymenophore tubulate, adnate, subventricose to ventricose, slightly depressed around the stipe; tubes brown to greyish-brown to dark brown, not separable from the pileus context; pores regularly arranged, mostly roundish at first becoming slightly angular with age, sometimes irregular, elongated around the stipe, dark brown to greyish-brown at first, becoming brown to chocolate brown with age. Stipe central, terete to sometimes slightly compressed, cylindrical to sometimes slightly wider at the base; surface even, minutely tomentose, dull, dark brown to greyish-brown, basal mycelium white to off-white becoming reddish-white to pale red when touched; context solid, yellowish to orange white to yellowish-grey to pale orange to dull orange to reddish-grey, marmorated or virgated with brownish-grey to greyish-brown to dark brown, sometimes scattered with small reddish-brown to brownish-black fine encrustations, unchanged or inconsistently reddening when cut. Spore print dark brown.
Basidiospores amygdaliform to ovoid or ovoid with subacute apex in side view, thin-walled, smooth, slightly reddish to brownish hyaline in water, slightly yellowish to greenish hyaline in KOH or NH4OH, inamyloid. Basidia 4-spored, clavate to narrowly clavate without basal clamp connection. Cheilocystidia fusiform or cylindrical with obtuse apex, sometimes bent or sinuate, thin-walled, often scattered with small brownish-yellow to yellowish-brown crystals on the walls in KOH or NH4OH. Pleurocystidia narrowly fusiform with obtuse apex or cylindrical to narrowly subclavate, sometimes bent or sinuate, thin-walled, densely covered with small reddish-brown to brownish dark encrustations on the walls when observed in H2O, which are discoloured then dissolved in KOH or NH4OH. Pileipellis a trichoderm becoming tangled trichoderm to tomentum, composed of thin-walled hyphae; terminal cells mostly slightly sinuate cylindrical to irregular with rounded apex or clavate to elongated clavate. Stipitipellis a trichoderm to tangled trichoderm or disrupted hymeniderm, composed of loosely to moderately interwoven cylindrical hyphae anastomosing at places. Clamp connections not seen in any tissue.
Cacaoporus tenebrosus
Currently known from Thailand.
Sutorius most closely resembles the new genus. In the field, Cacaoporus is easily distinguished from the Sutorius by the following combination of characters: chocolate brown to dark brown to blackish-brown basidiomata, which are darker than in Sutorius and never purplish-brown like in Sutorius species; chocolate brown to dark brown hymenophore, which is much darker than in Sutorius and never reddish- to purplish-brown like in Sutorius; tubes that are not separable from the pileus context but can be separated in Sutorius; off-white basal mycelium that more or less turns red when bruised, which is never the case in Sutorius.
Refers to the context, which is paler than in the other species, especially at the stipe base and in the pileus.

We observed some small yellowish to reddish to brownish dark particles or crystals covering the cell walls in pileipellis, stipitipellis and on the hymenium, especially the cystidia and basidia when observed in water. The small particles or crystals were mostly dissolved in KOH.
Cacaoporus pallidicarneus differs from C. tenebrosus by its basidiomata context colour which is paler, especially at the stipe base. A combination of the following characters are also distinctive: spore shape which is amygdaliform or elongated amygdaliform or sometimes ovoid with subacute apex in side view and ovoid in front view, while C. tenebrosus has ovoid spores, shorter basidia and differently shaped hymenophoral cystidia (see note under C. tenebrosus). Cacaoporus pallidicarneus has a stipitipellis which is a disrupted hymeniderm composed of caulocystidia and clavate cells, while the other species has a loose trichoderm or tangled trichoderm. Interestingly, one collection (SV0402) had a slightly paler context than C. tenebrosus but not as pale as C. pallidicarneus. The phylogenetic analyses indicated that this collection might be a species different from C. pallidicarneus and C. tenebrosus. However, the specimen was immature and, therefore, more collections are needed before the species can be formally recognised.
Refers to the overall darkness of basidiomata, including the context.

There were many small yellowish to reddish to dark brownish particles or crystals on the walls of pileipellis, stipitipellis and hymenium cells, especially on the cystidia and basidia when observed in water. The small particles or crystals are somewhat dissolved and discoloured in KOH.
Microscopically, Cacaoporus tenebrosus differs from C. pallidicarneus by having a darker context, longer basidia (33.6–47 µm vs. 25.3–33.8 µm, respectively), longer and larger hymenophoral cystidia, which also differ in shape (cylindrical to narrowly subclavate in C. tenebrosus but fusiform to narrowly fusiform in C. pallidicarneus). Phylogenetically, all Cacaoporus collections with a dark context formed a clade sister to C. pallidicarneus (BS = 85% and PP = 0.88), but some (SV0224 and SV0422) were genetically somewhat distant from the other collections. However, we could not find any difference in morphology. Consequently, we consider them as the same species (C. tenebrosus). Study of more collections is needed to confirm or infirm that they belong to the same species.
Close-ups of hymenium/pileus context transition zone in Cacaoporus species, illustrating the non-separability of both tissues a C. pallidicarneus (OR0681) b C. tenebrosus (OR0654) c C. tenebrosus (SV0452). The transition between both tissues is particularly unmarked in C. pallidicarneus (a) Scale bars: 3 mm (a); 5 mm (b–c).
Morphologically, Cacaoporus is most similar to Sutorius, with which it shares the overall brown colour of basidiomata and encrustations in the flesh. However, the genus Cacaoporus has darker basidiomata, especially the hymenophore and pore surface and is more chocolate brown, not reddish-brown or purplish-brown like Sutorius, tubes that are not separable from the pileus context whereas they are easily separable in Sutorius, white to off-white basal mycelium which becomes reddish when bruised, whereas in Sutorius, the basal mycelium is more or less white and unchanging. Cacaoporus also produces dark brown spore deposits whereas in Sutorius, spore deposits are reddish-brown (Halling et al. 2012). Microscopically, the two genera differ in the shape of basidiospores, which is amygdaliform to ovoid or ovoid with subacute apex in side view in Cacaoporus, whereas Sutorius produces narrowly ellipsoid to ellipsoid or subfusoid to fusoid basidiospores. Phylogenetically, Cacaoporus and Sutorius are not closely related - the two genera belong in two different clades of the Pulveroboletus group.
Some species in Porphyrellus E.-J. Gilbert also have brown to dark brown to umber basidiomata similar to Cacaoporus. However, Porphyrellus differs from the new genus in having white to greyish-white hymenophore when young, becoming greyish-pink to blackish-pink with age, white to pallid context in pileus and stipe variably staining blue and/or reddish when cut and white basal mycelium that does not turn red when bruised (
Phylogenetically, Cacaoporus was monophyletic and clustered in a well-supported clade with the genera Cyanoboletus and Cupreoboletus and one undescribed taxon, Boletus p.p. sp. (specimen voucher JD0693), belonging to the Pulveroboletus group of
Our survey on the diversity of Boletes in the north of Thailand has been conducted since 2012 and no Cacaoporus has been found in the forests at elevations lower than 850 m. Cacaoporus was found only between 850 m and 1460 m elevation. However, more collections are needed to confirm that the distribution of the genus is restricted to mid- to high-elevation forests and does not occur in the lower elevation, drier forests. Most collections were made from Fagaceae-dominated, evergreen hill forests. The dominant trees in these forests belong to the Fagaceae, including Lithocarpus, Castanopsis and Quercus, but some Dipterocarpaceae may also occur. At the lower end of its elevation range, however, Cacaoporus was also found in Dipterocarpaceae-dominated forests (in which Fagaceae, especially Quercus spp., also occurs). The Dipterocarpaceae trees include Dipterocarpus, namely D. tuberculatus, D. obtusifolius and Shorea, namely S. obtusa and S. siamensis. The listed trees have previously been reported as ectomycorrhizal hosts of Boletaceae (
Interestingly, our phylogeny indicated that the genera Neoboletus and Sutorius formed two different clades, both with high support (BS = 85% and PP = 0.95 for Neoboletus; BS = 100% and PP = 1 for Sutorius). Recently,
Cacaoporus is the second novel bolete genus described from Thailand, the first one being Spongiforma Desjardin, Manfr. Binder, Roekring & Flegel, described in 2009 (Desjardin et al.). However, fungal diversity in Thailand is high and still poorly known (
