Abstract

The genus Strobilomyces constitutes a phylogenetically distinct lineage within the Boletaceae family, recognized for its significant biocultural, economic and forestry relevance. However, its diversity and distribution within Mexico remain notably understudied. Here in, Strobilomyces pedireticulatus is formally described based on specimens collected from mixed-conifer forest ecosystems in Tlaxcala State, Mexico. Morphological characteristics and molecular phylogenetic analyses provide the diagnostic evidence for this identification. Additionally, it has specific biocultural importance within this region. Comprehensive documentation includes detailed macro- and microscopic descriptions, photographic record of fresh basidiomata in situ and ex situ, and analytical illustrations of key diagnostic features. Descriptions, photographs and illustrations of Strobilomyces pedireticulatus are provided.
