Butyriboletus roseoflavus is a pored mushroom in the genus Butyriboletus found in Asia. It was originally described in 2013 as a species of Boletus , but was transferred the following year to the newly created genus Butyriboletus . ^[1]

It is known as xiaomei niuganjun (Chinese :小美牛肝菌; lit.'little pretty bolete') or huamei niuganjun (Chinese :华美牛肝菌; lit.'fancy pretty bolete') in Yunnan and huandian niuganjun (Chinese :黄靛牛肝菌; lit.'yellow-cyan bolete') in Zhejiang. It was formerly misidentified as Boletus speciosus and Boletus appendiculatus . ^[2]

A mushroom identified as xiaomei niuganjun is implicated in a 2014 poisoning leading to lilliputian hallucination. ^[3]

[Translated:] Both patients were young women who came to our hospital for treatment in July 2011 and May 2012 respectively because of "auditory and visual hallucinations 12 hours after eating porcini mushrooms". Both patients developed symptoms 6 to 12 hours after eating stir-fried porcini mushrooms (about 250-500 g). One patient presented with "Lilliputian hallucinations" accompanied by auditory hallucinations, saying that she felt like she had entered Lilliputian, where there were little people less than 33 cm tall everywhere, with various faces, wearing red and green, lively and extremely naughty, and her voices could be heard. The mushrooms around her were colorful. The patient thought that world was very beautiful. Because she was afraid that these images would disappear, she kept chanting Buddhist scriptures, shouting, and staying up all night. The other patient had visual and auditory hallucinations, saw many small animals such as rabbits and squirrels around her out of thin air, heard their cries, felt that these small animals were going to bite her, slapped her hands in the air, was nervous and afraid, and dared not fall asleep. She had a healthy past and denied exposure to toxins and substance abuse. The vital signs of the two patients were stable, and the gastrointestinal symptoms were mild (nausea, stomach discomfort); no positive signs were found in the neurological and physical examinations. No obvious abnormal results were found in the auxiliary examinations. One of the patients had a blood sample sent to the Chinese People's Liberation Army Institute of Toxicology for serum toxicology examination, which showed that the concentration of tramadol in the serum was 0.5 ug/ml, which was a toxic dose. The two patients were given gastric lavage, fluid replacement and other treatments on the day of consultation, and haloperidol 2.5-10 mg/d was injected intramuscularly. After 5 days, the mental symptoms disappeared.
