Pulveroboletus sinensis is a species of blue staining bolete fungus of the family Boletaceae and the genus Pulveroboletus found in the Guangdong Province in China. [1] It is characterized by its yellow to vivid-yellow pulverulent cap which can darken to a deep orange at the center, and is covered with deep-orange to brown-orange conico-pyramidal scales. The cap is cyanescent when cut or bruised, while the stem does not stain. [1] These scales distinguish P. sinensis from a closely related species Pulveroboletus brunneopunctatus . [2]
Singular fruiting bodies form from July to October on soil, underneath conifers mixed with broadleaf trees at altitudes of 180–600 m (590–1,970 ft). Currently this species has only been identified in Heishiding, Guangdong Province. [1]
