Tylopilus veluticeps

Tylopilus veluticeps is a bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae found in Singapore. Originally described as a species of Boletus by Narcisse Théophile Patouillard and Charles Fuller Baker in 1918,[2] it was transferred to Tylopilus in 1947 by Rolf Singer.[3] The bolete has a velvety cap measuring 3.5–6.5 cm (1.4–2.6 in) in diameter, and a smooth, stout stipe that is 5–10 cm (2–4 in) long by 4.5–5.5 cm (1.8–2.2 in) thick. The elliptical spores are 12–15 by 4 µm.[2]
