Etymology: “Parvixerocomus” refers to the Xerocomus like small basidioma.
Diagnosis: This genus differs from all other genera of Boletaceae by its small basidiomata (usually <4 cm in diam.) with yellow hymenophoral tubes and pores which stain blue when bruised, ovoid to ellipsoid smooth spores, and an epithelioid pileipellis.
Basidioma stipitate-pileatewith tubular hymenophore, small. Pileus convex to applanate, subtomentose, dry; context yellowish to yellow, staining blue immediately when injured. Hymenophore subdecurrent, often with teeth on the apex of stipe; Hymenophoral surface yellowish to yellow, staining blue immediately when injured; pores irregular, angular to nearly round, often compound; tubes concolorous with hymenophoral surface, staining blue immediately when injured. Stipe central, light brown, brownish red to reddish brown, surface often pruinose; Basal mycelia cream to grayish yellowish. Pileipellis an epithelium composed of submoniliform to moniliform hyphae with cystidioid terminal cells. Pleuro- and cheilocystidia subfusiform-ventricose or clavate, with subacute apex or with long beak. Basidiospores smooth, ovoid to ellipsoid, yellowish to brownish yellow. Clamp connections absent.
