Imleria

Genus of fungi

Imleria is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. It was cultivated in 2014 by Alfredo Vizzini as a new genus for what had previously been named Boletus badius or Xerocomus badius. It was placed in its own genus because of its distinct morphological features and because it had previously been found to belong in its own genus in a molecular phylogenetics study by Gelardi et al. (2013).[1][2] Zhu et al. (2014) placed three more species in Imleria.[3] Species of Imleria which can be found in Europe, North America and Asia.[3] The genus is named in honor of the Belgian mycologist Louis Imler (1900–1993).[2]
