Respected Garg ji, I am sorry to say but we can never conclude the sp. and even genus atleast in this case (even in many Boletaceae) because most of them(Boletes) looks morphologically quite similar with only minute differences and can only be distinguished and confirmed on basis of spore analysis microscopy (checking for Basidiospore, Basidia and Cystidia etc.) moreover chemical reaction analysis is also needed (like testing for KOH Xanthochroic reaction and Ammonia reaxtion,bruising etc.) You can see its also clearly mentioned on your provided wikipedia link 'Macroscopic observation of *Xerocomellus chrysenteron* is not sufficient to determine this species with certainty, as many intermediate forms occur between it and other taxa; in particular, some forms of *B. pruinatus <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Boletus_pruinatus&action=edit&redlink=1>* and *Hortiboletus rubellus <https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hortiboletus_rubellus>* are hardly distinguishable from *B. chrysenteron* without the aid of microscopic characters'
Moreover i am unable to find even any record of this genus Xerocomellus from India, so i don't think it will be right to assume/say this Boletaceae as X.chrysenteron .... I feel atleast for now we will have to restrict it upto Boletaceae family only.... Best regards Ashutosh Sharma On Sun 11 Oct, 2020, 2:09 PM J.M.
