Species concepts in the Rhizopogon roseolus species group (Boletales, Basidiomycotina) are analyzed using nrDNA ITS sequence data. This group includes taxa traditionally placed in sect. Rhizopogon in subsect. Rhizopogon (stirps Rubescens) and subsect. Angustipori (stirps Vulgaris) along with many other European species. ITS sequence analyses separate the collections into numerous clades and imply the existence of five phylogenetic species.
