Chalciporus Bataille, Bull. Soc. Hist. Nat. Doubs 15: 39, 1908

Chalciporus, typified by C. piperatus, was originally established to accommodate species with a small basidioma, a reddish hymenophore, and smooth basidiospores (Moreno and García-Bona 1976; Pegler and Young 1981; Pegler 1983; Baroni and Both 1991; Gómez 1996; Halling et al. 2004; Klofac and Krisai-Greilhuber 2006). Besides the three new Chalciporus species revealed in the present study, seven species of the genus have been confirmed to occur in China (Wu et al. 2016; Zhang et al. 2016, 2017; Deng et al. 2018; Chai et al. 2019; Xu et al. 2021; Mao et al. 2023).
