| Description: | Numbers of taxa of Boletaceae appear to decrease from North America southward to South America. Because the majority of members of this family are obligately ectomycorrhizal, this decrease appears to be linked to the fewer ectotrophic phanerogamic associates in Latin America. However, Quercus, Colombobalanus, and Alnus in montane Costa Rica and Colombia do form associations with Boletaceae. A comparison of the bolete mycotas of the Americas indicates that the genera of boletes in Costa Rica and Colombia are more similar to North American genera and there appears to be a trend towards high endemism at the species level. |
