Boletus dictyotus (Boedijn) Corner, Boletus in Malaysia (Singapore): 80 (1972)
Why suggested for a Global Red List Assessment?
Despite the wide distribution of the species in the tropics, it is rare everywhere. Requires protection due to the reduction the forest area with the participation of Fagaceae.
Geographic range
It is widespread in the tropics, but rare everywhere. In Vietnam, it is known from one point in the Chu Yang Sin National Park.
It is known from Indonesia (Boedijn, 1960), China (Wu et al., 2016), Malaysia (Corner, 1972), Vietnam (Pham, 2018).
Population and Trends
The species is destributed in 4 countries. In Vietnam is known from one locality. Was not founded last 7 years.
