Hemileccinum is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. It was erected in 2008 by Josef Šutara to contain two species united by a number of shared morphological features: H. depilatum and the typeH. impolitum.[1] In 2014, Wu et al. found it to be distinct from other bolete genera in a molecular phylogenetic study and found it to be most closely related to Corneroboletus.[2] In 2015, H. subglabripes was transferred to Hemileccinum from Boletus based on DNA evidence,[3] while subsequent studies further confirmed the monophyly of the genus.[4]
