Australian Austrobolete Mushrooms

Three Australian Austrobolete  Mushrooms

Picture
Austroboletus is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae.   They have pores rather than gills  and used to be classified as a type of Boletus.  However, since 1979 they have been classified as  a separate genus because their spores are pitted rather than smooth like bolete spores as shown in this photo by Roy Halling (Mushroom Observer) [CC BY-SA 3.0 (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/3.0)], via Wikimedia Commons

At the macro  level  Australian Austroboletes are recognised via their lacunose stems, which are like a lattice.
