Boletinellaceae is a small family of mushrooms, primarily characterized by small pores on the underside of the mushroom rather than gills. Though in the order Boletales, new research shows they and Gyroporaceae are more closely related to earthballs of Sclerodermataceae than Boletaceae[1].
Genera include Boletinellus and Phlebopus, the latter genus showing some Gondwanan distribution found in Australia, Sri Lanka and elsewhere. It contains the gigantic Phlebopus marginatus, the cap of which can reach 1 metre in diameter.
