Boletaceae is a family of fungi that primarily includes mushroom producing species. They are characterized by the presence of tubes and pores underneath the mushroom cap, rather than gills which are commonly seen in many other types of mushrooms. These mushrooms are typically found on the ground in woodland and forest areas, and some species play a crucial role in forest ecology by developing mutual symbiotic relationships with trees and facilitating nutrient exchange. Some species are also well-known edible fungi.
