- Podostroma solmsii sliced
- Boletus reticuloceps found in Ura
Boletus reticuloceps, an excellent king bolete associate with conifers distributed in the Eastern Himalayas and Eastern Tibet. It was first described from the Tibetan areas in Yunnan. Then it was named as Aureboletus reticuloceps, but in 2005 in Sydowia 57-1 Wang, Q. B. & Y. J. Yao published "Boletus reticuloceps, a new combination for Aureoboletus reticuloceps" - Eleagnus parvifolia known in Dzonkha as Bji berry. One of our favorites.
