Their reported distribution is with ectomycorrhizal plants throughout the Northern Hemisphere. Little progress has been made on the systematics of this group using modern molecular phylogenetic tools because sampling has been limited primarily to European species and the genes employed were insufficient to resolve the phylogeny. We examined the evolutionary history of porcini by using a global geographic sampling of most known species, new discoveries from little explored areas, and multiple genes. We used 78 sequences from the fast-evolving nuclear internal transcribed spacers and are able to recognize 18 reciprocally monophyletic species. To address whether or not porcini form a monophyletic group, we compiled a broadly sampled dataset of 41 taxa, including other members of the Boletineae, and used separate and combined phylogenetic analysis of sequences from the nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA, the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II, and the mitochondrial ATPase subunit six gene. Contrary to previous studies, our separate and combined phylogenetic analyses support the monophyly of porcini. We also report the discovery of two taxa that expand the known distribution of porcini to Australia and Thailand and have ancient phylogenetic connections to the rest of the group. A relaxed molecular clock analysis with these new taxa dates the origin of porcini to between 42 and 54 million years ago, coinciding with the initial diversification of angiosperms, during the Eocene epoch when the climate was warm and humid. These results reveal an unexpected diversity, distribution, and ancient origin of a group of commercially valuable mushrooms that may provide an economic incentive for conservation and support the hypothesis of a tropical origin of the ectomycorrhizal symbiosis.

Introduction Porcini1 (Boletus edulis and allies) are some of the most widely and commonly collected edible mushrooms in the world (Singer, 1986; ⇑ Corresponding author. Present address: Jodrell Laboratory, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3DS, UK. E-mail address: [email protected] (B.T.M. Dentinger). 1 Porcini is the plural form of the Italian word porcino, but in common English usage it serves as both singular and plural (D. Arora, pers. comm.). 1055-7903/$ - see front matter Ó 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. doi:10.1016/j.ympev.2010.10.004 Boa, 2004; Sitta and Floriani, 2008), yet empirical estimates of their annual net worth or the degree to which they are used as an ingredient in foods do not exist. The economic value of wild harvested porcini and allied species is clearly substantial, since an estimated 20,000– 100,000 metric tons are consumed annually and the median wholesale price in the U.S. for fresh mushrooms in 2009 was USD$60/kg2 and 2 Calculated from data collected by the Fruit and Vegetable Marketing News, Agricultural Marketing Service, United States Department of Agriculture (http:// marketnews.usda.gov/portal/fv). B.T.M. Dentinger et al. / Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 57 (2010) 1276–1292 can reach USD$200/kg (Hall et al., 1998). Porcini are not only one of the most popular wild mushrooms in Europe (Arora, 2001; Sitta and Floriani, 2008), but they are an important source of revenue for rural economies in several regions of the world (Boa, 2004; de Román and Boa, 2004) and are becoming a substantial economic resource in western North America (Arora, 2008). Notably, their local value can exceed that of timber, which should provide an economic motivation for conservation of native forests (Oria-de-Rueda et al., 2008). Moreover, porcini are nutritionally complete, rivaling the protein content of meats (Manzi et al., 2001), and they may have anti-cancer properties (Lucas et al., 1957; Ying et al., 1987; Hobbs, 1995). Despite their potential value as foods, sustainable non-timber forest products, and medicines, the true diversity and evolutionary history of these large, conspicuous mushrooms remains poorly known. The porcini group (Boletus section Boletus; Singer, 1986; hereafter known as ‘‘porcini’’, which refers to the official commercial name for this group in Italy; Sitta and Floriani, 2008) is a complex of at least 25 species with a known distribution throughout the Northern Hemisphere from the subarctic regions to possibly near the equator, with only a few reports from Malaysia (1–2 spp.; Corner, 1972) and Colombia (1 sp., Halling, 1996). The distribution of porcini is more extensive than is generally known and there exist undescribed species, especially in the tropics, that are often consumed in their native regions, such as Thailand (D. Arora, pers. comm.) and Vietnam (Dentinger, pers. obs.). The biogeographic history of the group is unknown but is generally assumed to be of north-temperate origin because the vast majority of known species come from these regions. Most of the known diversity is centered in eastern (12–18 spp.; Peck, 1889; Snell and Dick, 1970; Grand and Smith, 1971; Smith and Thiers, 1971; Singer, 1986; Both, 1993; Bessette et al., 2000) and western North America (7 spp.; Thiers, 1975; Arora, 2008). Porcini are found in the vicinity of ectotrophic plants in the families Fagaceae, Betulaceae, Salicaceae, Cistaceae, Pinaceae (Singer, 1986; Lavorato, 1991; Milne, 2002; Oria-de-Rueda and DÌez, 2002; Águeda et al., 2006, 2008; Oria-de-Rueda et al., 2008), and possibly Dipterocarpaceae in Malaysia (Corner, 1972). Based on the confirmed ectomycorrhizal (ECM) status of several species (Agerer and Gronbach, 1990; Águeda et al., 2008; Smith and Read, 2008), the restriction of all known species to the vicinity of ectotrophic plants, their large size (indicating a robust source of carbon) and terrestrial habit (most common habit for ECM fungi), all porcini are assumed to be obligate ECM mutualists of plants. Hence, their global distribution appears to be limited to wherever their photosynthetic partners occur. These morphologically similar fleshy, pored mushrooms (‘‘boletes’’) are traditionally united by a combination of several phenotypic traits including white (or pale yellow), mild-tasting flesh that does not change color when exposed to air, spores that are either yellow-brown or olive-brown in deposit, a stalk with an enlarged base and a raised netted pattern at least over the uppermost portion, and a layer of tangled white hyphae that covers the immature tubes (equivalent to a partial veil), a feature that effectively ‘‘plugs’’ their pores and has often been referred to misleadingly as ‘‘stuffed pores’’ (Fig. 1; Coker and Beers, 1943; Smith and Thiers, 1971; Singer, 1986). Most of these features are not unique to porcini and can vary considerably among individuals, which at least partly explains the history of extensive taxonomic confusion in the group. For example, Index Fungorum (www.indexfungorum.org) lists 54 synonyms, subspecies, forms, and varieties just for the ‘‘King Bolete’’, B. edulis. Recent molecular phylogenetic studies have shown that only four species of porcini can be distinguished in Europe (B. edulis, B. aereus, B. reticulatus, and B. pinophilus), but that substantial phenotypic variation exists, particularly in B. edulis, which has sometimes lead to incorrect segregation of independent species (Leonardi et al., 2005; Beugelsdijk et al., 2008). Yet because these studies were limited to taxa present in Europe, while most of 1277 the diversity of porcini is found on other continents, especially North America, they have not shed much light on the global diversity and origin of porcini. Importantly, no previous studies have addressed the issue of whether or not porcini are monophyletic. Not all taxonomic treatments of porcini treat the ‘‘stuffed pore’’type partial veil as a unifying trait for this group. In fact, although it is a feature often emphasized in field guides as a key character in the diagnosis of porcini, it also has been reported from distantly related taxa including Phlebopus beniensis (Miller et al., 2000), Boletus auripes, and B. aureissimus (Singer, 1947; pers. obs.), indicating that this trait may have evolved more than once or that it may be symplesiomorphic. The lack of clearly identified traits unique to the group has resulted in a great amount of confusion in the classification of allied taxa, with species placed in or transferred to other genera (e.g., Aureoboletus reticuloceps; Zang et al., 1993; Wang and Yao, 2005; and Xanthoconium separans (Peck) Halling and Both). The recent transfer of Boletus separans Peck to the genus Xanthoconium illustrates the broader issue implicit in the taxonomic confusion of porcini of whether or not they are monophyletic. This species was reclassified based on a subset of morphological features it shares with some species in Xanthoconium, including a macrochemical reaction to ammonium hydroxide, the shape and color of the spores, and the tendency to develop a sour, putrid scent in age or drying (Halling and Both, 1998). Because all other species of Xanthoconium do not have a partial veil, but instead have pore mouths that are compressed when young (Singer, 1986), this transfer implicitly demoted the potential unifying role of this trait. However, this proposed reclassification was not presented in a phylogenetic framework and the morphological homologies employed for justifying the transfer can be considered only as a hypothesis for phylogenetic relatedness (Patterson, 1982; Brower and Schawaroch, 1996). On the other hand, no molecular phylogenetic study including multiple species of porcini has found support for a single common ancestor of X. separans and other species of section Boletus (Binder, 1999; Simonini et al., 2001; Mello et al., 2006; Sitta and Floriani, 2008), seeming to indicate that X. separans is indeed distinct from all other porcini. Our goal in this study was to generate a globally representative, molecular phylogeny for porcini using multiple, independent gene regions that could be used to evaluate their monophyly and to estimate their date of origin and diversification. Our approach involved two steps: (1) we first generated and evaluated sequences from the nuclear internal transcribed spacer regions of the ribosomal DNA repeat (ITS) for as many broadly distributed samples of porcini as we could reasonably acquire, (2) we then compiled a representative sampling of porcini, based on the results of the ITS analysis, to evaluate monophyly and date of origin with maximum likelihood and Bayesian methods, with and without a relaxed molecular clock and using both nuclear and mitochondrial loci. We selected three loci for this analysis: (1) The nuclear large subunit (LSU) of the ribosome was chosen because of its traditional use in fungal phylogenetics and its ease of amplification using universal primers. (2) The largest subunit of the nuclear gene encoding RNA polymerase II (RPB1) was chosen because it is a single-copy protein-coding gene that is easily aligned across divergent taxa, and has been demonstrated to provide more phylogenetically informative characters than the LSU (Matheny et al., 2002; Matheny, 2005; Frøslev et al., 2005; Garnica et al., 2009). (3) The mitochondrial ATPase subunit 6 (ATP6) was selected because it is physically independent of the nuclear loci, it can be easily aligned across divergent taxa, it showed promise for phylogenetics in the Boletales, and universal primers were available (Kretzer and Bruns, 1999; Binder and Hibbett, 2006). This study provides the first globally relevant, in-depth analysis of the diversity and evolutionary history of porcini. 1278 B.T.M.

Taxon sampling We compiled two datasets to (1) analyze the species-level diversity of porcini and (2) to evaluate the evolution of porcini within a broader phylogenetic context of the Boletineae. Nomenclature follows Index Fungorum, accessed on 30 April 2010, except in cases where recent phylogenetic evidence contradicts the most recent generic affinities in the database. The first dataset, hereafter referred to as ‘‘Porcini s.s.’’, includes a thorough sampling, taxonomically and geographically, of most known species of porcini sensu stricto (sensu Singer, 1986; modified by Dentinger, 2007; Leonardi et al., 2005; Beugelsdijk et al., 2008; Table 1). Specimens used for this dataset include new and preserved collections from throughout North America, Belize, Costa Rica, China, Japan, Europe, Morocco, and the Philippines. Type specimens were used when available. For the second dataset, hereafter referred to as ‘‘Boletineae’’, our goal was to sample broadly, both geographically and taxonomically, within the Boletineae (sensu Binder and Hibbett, 2006; Basidiomycota:Agaricomycotina:Agaricomycetes:Boletales). We used Table 1 Taxon and voucher information, collection localities, and GenBank accession numbers for specimens used in this study.

Dentinger et al. / Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 57 (2010) 1276–1292 Taxon B.T.M. Dentinger et al. / Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 57 (2010) 1276–1292 the recent phylogenetic overview of the Boletales (Binder and Hibbett, 2006) and the traditional classification of three subfamilies (Boletoidae, Strobilomycetoidae, and Xerocomoidae; Singer, 1986) as guides. Two taxa, one from the Suillineae (Suillus pictus) and one from the Sclerodermatineae (Boletinellus merulioides), were used as outgroups. Most of the samples for the Boletineae dataset were taken from well-preserved, recently collected specimens in order to facilitate amplification of single copy nuclear protein-coding genes. For this dataset, 11 taxa representing the known phylogenetic diversity of the traditionally recognized porcini were selected based on preliminary results of the species-level study with ITS sequences (7 spp.), newly discovered taxa (2 spp.), and divergent taxa according to previous studies (2 spp.). New collections were obtained from Australia, Costa Rica, Guyana, France, Thailand, and USA (Table 1). Dried voucher specimens are deposited in the University of Minnesota Herbarium (MIN), University of Guyana, Georgetown (BRG), Humboldt State University (HSC), Clinton Herbarium, Buffalo Museum of Sciences (BUF), Université de Lille, Faculté des Sciences Pharamaceutiques et Biologiques Herbarium (LIP), HD Thiers Herbarium, San Francisco State University (SFSU), University of California at Berkeley Herbarium (UC), University of Washington Herbarium (WTU), Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences (KUN), Tottori Mycological Institute (TMI), Royal Botanic Garden, Edinburgh (E), Herbarium of the University of San Jose, Costa Rica (USJ), and New York Botanical Garden (NY). 2.2. DNA extraction, PCR, and DNA sequencing A total of four loci were sequenced for this study, including three nuclear and one mitochondrial gene. For the Porcini s.s. dataset, full and partial sequences of the nuclear internal transcribed spacers (ITS) of the ribosomal DNA repeat were generated. Three independent loci were sequenced for the Boletineae dataset: (1) the 5 region of the large subunit (LSU) of the ribosomal DNA repeat, (2) the 50 region of the nuclear gene coding for the largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB1; Matheny et al., 2002; Matheny, 2005), (3) the 5 region of mitochondrial ATPase subunit 6 (ATP6; Kretzer and Bruns, 1999). Genomic DNA was extracted using a modified CTAB/SDS extraction (Dentinger and McLaughlin, 2006) or newly proposed protocols for high-throughput DNA sequencing (Dentinger et al., 2010). PCR of the full or partial ITS region followed Gardes and Bruns (1993) using primers ITS1F and ITS4/ ITS4B (White et al., 1990; Gardes and Bruns, 1993) and/or primers ITS8F and ITS6R following the protocol of Dentinger et al. (2010). For some taxa, only the ITS1 region could be amplified. For these short fragments, PCR employed the same forward primers as the full ITS amplifications with the reverse primer 5.8S (Vilgalys lab) or a new reverse primer, ‘‘bol-5.8Srev’’ (50 -AGCGCAAGGTG CGTTCAAAGATTC-30 ), which was designed to complement a region of the 5.8S based on an alignment of ITS sequences of B. edulis, B. aereus, B. pinophilus, and B. aestivalis downloaded from GenBank. The first ca. 900–1400 bp of double-stranded DNA was amplified and sequenced for the LSU using the forward primer LROR (Vilgalys and Hester, 1990) or a new forward primer designed for enhanced specificity to Agaricomycetes, LROR-A (50 -CAAGGATTCCCCTACTAACTGC-30 ), in combination with the reverse primer LR5 (Vilgalys and Hester, 1990) or TW14 (White et al., 1990). Initial attempts to amplify RPB1 using previously published primers designed for fungi (gRPB1-Afor, fRPB1-Crev; Matheny et al., 2002) resulted in weak amplification or non-specific amplification. These difficulties were overcome by sequential PCR or by using newly designed primers with enhanced specificity for boletes. New primers were designed using an alignment of all publicly available RPB1 sequences from Boletales taxa in the AFToL Molecular Database (aftol.biology.duke.edu). Priming regions and primer sequences were 1283 identified using the PrimerQuestSM tool available through the website of Integrated DNA Technologies, Inc. (www.idtdna.com/Scitools/Applications/Primerquest/). The forward primer ‘‘bol-RPB1Afor’’ (50 -AYTWAAGGCHGAYATCGTGAGTC-30 ) and reverse primer ‘‘bol-RPB1-Crev’’ (50 -CARCAACTGCTCAAACTCCGTGAT-30 ) were newly designed. These primers correspond to positions 65–80 (bol-RPB1-Afor) in exon region ‘‘A’’ and 779–803 (bol-RPB1-Crev) in exon region ‘‘C’’ according to the full annotated sequence of the Boletaceae representative Boletellus projectellus in GenBank (AFToL-ID 713; GenBank Accession No. AY788850). Mitochondrial ATP6 was amplified and sequenced using primers ATP6-1 and ATP6-2 following the protocol of Kretzer and Bruns (1999), except in most cases sequential PCR was necessary to obtain enough template for direct sequencing. Amplifications were completed using a touchdown program (Dentinger et al., 2010) on a MJ Research DNA Engine (PTC-200) Peltier Thermal Cycler (Bio-Rad Laboratories, Waltham, Massachusetts, USA) or an Eppendorf MasterCycler (Model 5345). PCR amplification was achieved using standard conditions according to the original citations for the loci and primers (listed above) or following that of Dentinger and McLaughlin (2006) and Dentinger et al. (2010). PCR products were cleaned prior to sequencing by using either a QIAquick PCR Purification Kit (Qiagen Inc., Valencia, CA) or by using one of the methods in Dentinger et al. (2010). Unidirectional dye-terminated sequencing for the forward and reverse reactions using the same primer combinations for PCR was conducted with an ABI PRISM™ 3700 DNA Analyzer (Foster City, California, USA) at the BioMedical Genomics Center, University of Minnesota and an ABI PRISM™ 3100 DNA Analyzer in the Department of Natural History at the Royal Ontario Museum. Contiguous sequences were made in Sequencher 3.0 (Gene Codes Corp., Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA) by overlapping the unidirectional reads. In addition to new collections, 10 publicly available sequences representing five additional taxa were obtained from GenBank or the AFToL Molecular Database. 2.3. Sequence alignment and phylogenetic analysis 2.3.1. Porcini s.s. dataset No taxa could be selected as an outgroup for this dataset because the ITS region is too divergent between porcini s.s. and taxa outside of this group, including ‘‘Inferiboletus’’, to align unambiguously. Sequences were aligned manually in the editor window of PAUPv4b10 (Swofford, 2002). Maximum likelihood (ML) and Bayesian (BA) methods were used for all analyses. Models of evolution were determined using the Akaike Information Criterion implemented in ModelTest v3.7 (Posada and Crandall, 1998). ML analysis was performed using the Mac OS X GUI version of GARLI v0.951 (Zwickl, 2006) with the factory defaults and estimating all model parameter values except in cases where it was necessary to supply these values to invoke the appropriate model. Each ML search was conducted five times to avoid an aberrant result from stochastic effects (Zwickl, 2006). Branch support was assessed with 100 nonparametric bootstrapping replicates using model parameters settings that were fixed to the average values from the previous five independent ML runs. Partitioned Bayesian analyses using mixed models were conducted using the parallel CVS version of MrBayes v3.2 (Ronquist and Huelsenbeck, 2003; Altekar et al., 2004; Ronquist et al., 2005) at the University of Minnesota Supercomputing Institute. Separate partitions were used for the ITS1, 5.8S, and ITS2 regions to allow for different rates of evolution in these three regions. All Bayesian analyses used mixed models, one for each partition, with model parameter values estimated for each partition independently. The BA analyses used two parallel independent runs of 2 106 generations sampling trees every 100 generations. The first 2500 sampled trees from each run were 1284 B.T.M. Dentinger et al. / Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 57 (2010) 1276–1292 discarded as the burn-in and the remaining 17,500 trees from each run were combined to build a 50% majority rule consensus using the ‘sump’ and ‘sumt’ commands in MrBayes. Analysis statistics were used to diagnose MCMC chain convergence (e.g., sufficient swapping among chains, standard deviation of split frequencies <0.05, potential scale reduction factors near 1; Ronquist et al., 2005). 2.3.2. Boletineae dataset Sequences were aligned initially using MUSCLE v3.7 (Edgar, 2004) and optimized manually. Individual loci were analyzed separately and combined. All analyses used RAxML v7.0.4 (Stamatakis, 2006) executed on the CIPRES server (Miller et al., 2009) and the parallel version of MrBayes v3.1.2 executed remotely on an Apple XServe in the Thornton lab at the University of Oregon. The best model of evolution for each locus was selected using the Akaike Information Criterion in ModelTest v3.7. Branch support was evaluated using rapid nonparametric bootstrapping with 1000 replicates in RAxML (Stamatakis et al., 2008) and using posterior probabilities from the MrBayes runs. Both the RAxML and MrBayes analyses of the combined data used partitioned mixed models allowing for model parameters to be estimated independently for each gene. The MrBayes analyses were automatically terminated using the stoprul and stopval commands when the standard deviation of the split frequencies fell below 0.01. Chain convergence was further verified by ensuring potential scale reduction factors neared 1 and using Tracer v1.5 to confirm sufficiently large ESS values. Burn-ins were determined by visually inspecting the ln L trace plot in Tracer. Posterior probabilities from the Bayesian runs were calculated by building majority-rule consensus trees from the posterior distributions of the MCMC chains in PAUP. For the ATP6 dataset, the first 10,000 trees were discarded as the burn-in and the last 70,410 trees from each run (140,820 total) were used to build the consensus tree; for the LSU dataset, the first 5000 trees were discarded as the burn-in and the last 22,722 trees from each run (45,444 total) were used for the consensus tree; for the RPB1 dataset, the first 5000 trees were discarded as the burn-in and the last 31,012 trees from each run (62,024 total) used for the consensus tree; for the combined dataset, the first 2040 trees were discarded as the burn-in and the last 18,371 trees from each run (36,742 total) used for the consensus tree. 2.4. Hypothesis testing The Shimodaira–Hasegawa test (SHtest) was used to evaluate alternative topological hypotheses for each gene (Shimodaira and Hasegawa, 1999; Goldman et al., 2000). GARLI v1.0 (Zwickl, 2006), which allows for positive topological constraints to be enforced, was used to identify maximum likelihood trees from searches that were either unconstrained or constrained to recover porcini as monophyletic. SHtest was conducted in PAUPv4b10 using the best trees from the ML searches in GARLI. Maximum likelihood values were estimated for all model parameters in PAUP and SHtest was conducted using RELL approximation with 1000 bootstrap replicates. 2.5. Dating the origin of porcini An alignment of 27 RPB1 and LSU sequences representing the Glomeromycota (2 spp.), Ascomycota (2 spp.), and Basidiomycota (23 spp.), was used to infer the date of origin for porcini, using Rhizopus oryzae (Mucorales: Mucoromycotina) as the outgroup. The Basidiomycota included taxa representing the Pucciniomycotina (Agaricostilbum hyphaenes), Ustilaginomycotina (Ustilago maydis) and Agaricomycotina (21 spp.). Within the Agaricomycotina, taxa were selected to represent the Filobasidiales (Cryptococcus neoformans), Dacrymycetales (2 spp.), Phallomycetidae (2 spp.), Hymenochaetales (2 spp.), Russulales (2 spp.), Agaricales (2 spp.), and Boletales (10 spp.), including six species of porcini. The alignment was made in MacClade v4.08 (Maddison and Maddison, 2003) by combining the porcini sequences (with only a single representative of B. edulis) with selected sequences retrieved from the RPB1 and LSU alignments in the AFToL database (http://aftol1.biology.duke.edu/pub/alignments/download_alignments) used by James et al. (2006). We excluded the same ambiguously aligned regions as James et al. (2006) prior to analysis. ModelTest v3.7 was used to select the best models of evolution for each gene using the hierarchical likelihood ratio test. The date of origin of porcini was estimated using a relaxed molecular clock analysis (Drummond et al., 2006) in BEAST v1.5.4 (Drummond and Rambaut, 2007) with separate models and model parameters estimated independently for each gene partition. We used two different internal calibrations for the divergence time between the Ascomycota and the Basidiomycota based on the estimates of 452 million years ago (Mya) (Taylor and Berbee, 2006) and 500–665 Mya (Lucking et al., 2009). These dates reflect both a traditional, more conservative estimate and a new estimate based on updated phylogenetic information and improved molecular clock analysis. We constructed the BEAST input files using BEUti v1.5.4 (Drummond and Rambaut, 2007) and implemented the calibrations by setting a uniform prior for the tMRCA parameter at the node leading to the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. For the first calibration point, the prior was distributed normally about the mean of 452 Mya with a standard deviation of 31.6 Mya, corresponding to a central 95% range of 500–400 Mya. The mean of the prior is the date estimated by Taylor and Berbee (2006) for the Ascomycota/Basidiomycota split. The standard deviation was chosen so that the minimum date in the central 95% range was 400 Mya, corresponding to the minimum age of the Ascomycota determined by the fossil Paleopyrenomycites devonicus from the early Devonian Rhynie chert (Taylor et al., 2005). The second calibration used 500–665 Mya for the divergence of the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota based on Lucking et al. (2009). We used the mean of this range (582.5 Mya) for the prior with a normal distribution and a standard deviation of 50.15 Mya, which produces a central 95% range of 500–665 Mya, corresponding to the range of dates reported by Lucking et al. (2009) for this node. For both calibrations, two independent runs were executed in BEAST for 1 107 generations, sampling trees every 100 generations. Tracer v1.5 was used to diagnose MCMC chain convergence (based on ESS values >200) and, after discarding the first 1 107 trees (10%) as the burn-in from each run, the mean ± standard error and the 95% highest posterior density (HPD) interval for the dates of divergence in Mya were calculated from the combined BEAST log files. 3. Results 3.1. Porcini s.s. (Fig. 2) The data matrix consisted of 74 complete ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 sequences from at least 16 morphospecies (Table 1), and ITS1 only sequences for four taxa. Sequences were aligned in 1010 positions: 182 were parsimony informative, 761 were constant, and 67 were autapomorphic. Maximum likelihood analysis recovered five trees with ln L scores of 3461.7639–3461.7890 (Fig. 2), which differed only in the position of Boletus ‘‘variipes’’ (Watling25598). One tree recovered B. ‘‘variipes’’ sharing a most recent common ancestor (MRCA) with the clade containing B. aereus, B. mamorensis, B. sp. nov. 2 and 3, and B. reticulatus. The other four trees recovered B. ‘‘variipes’’ sharing a MRCA with a clade containing the previous four taxa plus B.T.M.

Boletineae (Figs. 3 and 4) The multi-gene Boletineae dataset consisted of 43 taxa. All datasets had complete sequence data except for one taxon (Xanthoconium purpureum) that was represented by an incomplete RPB1 sequence restricted to the first 269 bp of the alignment. One specimen was ultimately eliminated from the study (Xerocomus cf. spadiceus var. gracilis) because the RPB1 sequence we obtained using primers bolRPB1-Afor and bolRPBP1-Crev exhibited characteristics of a pseudogene. This sequence had two 3-bp indels that did not interrupt the reading frame, seven autapomorphic nonsynonymous substitutions, a single bp indel that did interrupt the reading frame, and two first-position C ? T substitutions that converted the triplet CGA, coding for the amino acid arginine, to the stop codon TGA. Although it is possible that TGA is an alternate codon for arginine in this taxon, the additional features that distinguish this sequence from all of the other RPB1 sequences suggest that the RPB1 gene we sequenced from this specimen is not a functioning copy. Phylogenetically informative characteristics of each dataset and measures of homoplasy in each of the best trees from the ML analyses of the separate and combined datasets are summarized in Table 2. ModelTest v3.7 selected the GTR+G+I model for all loci. The LSU and ATP6 datasets had modest phylogenetic signal (26% parsimony-informative sites) with relatively high levels of homoplasy compared to the RPB1 dataset (38% parsimony-informative sites), and produced trees with a small proportion of supported nodes: 16% and 14% of branches received bootstrap values P70%, respectively, compared to the RPB1 dataset (20%).

However, the Shimodaira–Hasegawa test did not reject the hypothesis that porcini form a monophyletic group for the LSU or ATP6 data (Table 3). The three genes were combined into a single dataset because no nodes with statistical support in each of the separate analyses were in conflict with each other (Fig. 3), indicating that the data could be combined (Mason-Gamer and Kellogg, 1996; Reeb et al., 2004). The ML tree produced from the combined analysis was similar to that recovered from the single gene RPB1 dataset (Figs. 3 and 4). Twenty branches received strong nonparametric bootstrap support (P70%) while only 15 of these received significant Bayesian posterior probabilities (P0.95). One branch received a significant posterior probability but not significant nonparametric bootstrap support. Two branches had lower support in the combined dataset than the RPB1 dataset, including the node leading to porcini and the internal node leading to ‘‘Inferiboletus’’ (REH8969) plus ‘‘Boletus s.s’’. 3.3. Dating the origin of porcini (Table 4, Fig. 5) Divergence time estimates calibrated at the Ascomycota/Basidiomycota node are summarized in Table 4. From the chronogram in Fig. 4, mean divergence between ‘‘Inferiboletus’’ and Boletus s.s. is estimated at 34.1 (95% HPD: 16.1–53.6) Mya and the divergence between ‘‘Obtextiporus’’ and ‘‘Alloboletus’’ is estimated at 30.7 (95% HPD interval: 13.5–50.3) Mya. 4. Discussion 4.1. Diversity of porcini Eighteen clades of porcini s.s. are recognized in our analyses, although not all of these received significant support (Fig. 2). Each clade putatively represents a distinct species. However, the identification of species in this group is plagued by misapplication of names, particularly when collections were named as taxa described from disjunct regions, such as the identification of B. edulis (described from Europe) in eastern Asia (HKAS39145, HKAS47563, DQ397949, OKM22130) and B. variipes (described from eastern USA) in the Philippines (Watling25598). It is also clear that there are still porcini taxa masquerading under other names that have not been sampled here, such as B. reticulatus from Japan (Nagasawa, pers. obs). Compounding this problem, all of the infraspecific taxa and segregated species of B. edulis (with the exception of B. subcaerulescens and B. pinophilus) appear to be phenotypic variants of a single widespread panmictic population, confirming the results of Leonardi et al. (2005) and Beugelsdijk et al. (2008). However, the ITS may simply not evolve fast enough to detect recently diverged taxa, in which case the stable forms of B. edulis that occur throughout its range may in fact be reproductively isolated from each other. Confident diagnosis of species limits in B. edulis sensu stricto and its segregated forms will require the addition of faster-evolving genetic markers and population genetic studies with thorough sampling throughout its reported range in Europe, Asia, and North America. Because the ITS-based phylogram could not be confidently rooted, it is difficult to infer biogeographic and morphological evolution in porcini sensu stricto at this time. Nonetheless, our phylogeny shows several interesting patterns. First, Gastroboletus subalpinus is sister to B. regineus from the western USA and is derived within the clade containing B. pinophilus and related taxa, indicating that this taxon should be transferred to the genus Boletus as was proposed for the transfer of Gastrosuillus spp. to Suillus (Kretzer and Bruns, 1997). Second, the sister lineage to the best known species of porcini, B. edulis, is Boletus reticuloceps, an infrequently documented species known only from the mountainous regions of Yunnan, China. This darkly pigmented species is characterized by a pitted, reticulated cap surface (Fig. 1; Zang et al., 1993; Wang and Yao, 2005), reminiscent of the description of the rare, relatively unknown Boletus mottiae from the Sierra Nevada in California (Thiers, 1975). A second notable pattern is that none of the 1287 B.T.M. Dentinger et al. / Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 57 (2010) 1276–1292 Fig. 4.

Whether or not our sampling reflects the true distribution of these taxa is yet to be determined. Finally, Boletus variipes and its darkly pigmented variety fagicola, described originally from eastern North America, apparently consists of two divergent taxa separated by Boletus hiratsukae, which is known only from Japan. Interestingly, these two cryptic taxa of Boletus variipes do not correspond to the varieties recognized by the original authors (Smith and Thiers, 1971), but show a distinct geographic signature: One clade occurs from North Carolina south into Costa Rica and the other occurs farther north. However, sampling of these cryptic taxa throughout their entire ranges is incomplete so this pattern may not hold under greater scrutiny. 4.2. Porcini, Boletineae and phylogenetic utility of RPB1 In this study, porcini are recovered as a monophyletic group for the first time using RPB1 and a combined dataset (Figs. 3 and 4), supporting the hypothesis of a single origin of the ‘‘stuffed pore’’type partial veil in this dataset. In contrast, both the LSU and ATP6 failed to recover this relationship (Fig. 3). Yet, the splitting of porcini into two unrelated groups in the ATP6 and LSU datasets did not receive statistical support. Moreover, for both the ATP6 and LSU datasets, alternative topologies where porcini were constrained to be monophyletic were no worse than the best ML trees that did not recover this clade (Table 3). However, the branch support for the node leading to a monophyletic porcini in the RPB1 dataset (Fig. 3; 74% BS, 1.0 PP) was eroded when the genes were analyzed in combination (Fig. 4; 66% BS, <0.5 PP). While this might suggest some underlying conflict in phylogenetic signals from each of the genes, no branches receiving statistical support in each of the single gene analyses were in conflict with each other, indicating that there are no strongly contradictory phylogenetic patterns between them (Mason-Gamer and Kellogg, 1996). We interpret the erosion of the node leading to porcini in the combined dataset as indicating the presence of only a few characters that support porcini as monophyletic in the face of increasing levels of homoplasy as more and more data are added. Overall, branch support for the deepest nodes in the Boletineae, which includes the ancient relationships among porcini, was scarce in all analyses. Of the three genes used in this study, RPB1 showed the greatest phylogenetic signal. Matheny et al. (2002) found RPB1 to improve the resolution and support of phylogenetic analysis of another ectomycorrhizal mushroom genus, Inocybe, when used in combination with LSU sequences. Frøslev et al. (2005) and Garnica et al. (2009) have also shown RPB1 to provide substantial phylogenetic signal within Cortinarius. Our results show that sequence data from LSU and ATP6 did not produce well-supported trees and did not improve the resolution of the Boletineae over earlier studies (Binder, 1999; Binder and Bresinsky, 2002; Binder and Hibbett, 2006), even in combination with RPB1 and despite our broad taxonomic sampling and inclusion of specimens from largely neglected geographic areas (i.e. tropical). However, RPB1 only marginally improved the level of resolution and branch support for relationships within the Boletineae relative to the LSU and ATP6 datasets (Table 2, Fig. 3). In our datasets, 39% of aligned positions in RPB1 were parsimony-informative, compared to 26% in both LSU and ATP6 (Table 2). The third position of the RPB1 exons exhibited the greatest number of parsimony-informative substitutions (148), followed by the first position (24) and second position (14). In contrast, in Inocybe, 32% of aligned positions in the RPB1 exons were parsimony-informative compared to only 10% of LSU characters (Matheny et al., 2002). This discrepancy between the greater number of parsimony-informative characters in the Boletineae dataset and the weak phylogenetic signal from these loci compared to the Inocybe dataset suggests a high degree of homoplasy, particularly in the third codon position. Even when error associated with multiple hits in the third codon position was corrected for by applying a model of evolution in a maximum likelihood framework, these genes did not provide robust phylogenetic information for the Boletineae. These observed differences in molecular evolution between two widespread ECM taxa, the Boletineae and Inocybe, might reflect differences in their relative ages and/or life histories. 4.3. Taxonomy and nomenclature One proposed advantage of phylogenetic taxonomy is the ability to recognize taxa of equal divergence (proxy for age) at equal ranks (Hennig, 1965; Berbee and Taylor, 1994; Avise and Johns, Table 4 Estimated divergence dates of selected Fungi using a relaxed molecular clock.

Shaded boxes delineate taxonomic groups, labeled at top. Scale bar at bottom is in millions of years. Estimated divergence times for most nodes are listed in Table 4. 1999). Therefore, to acknowledge the difference between the relatively minor divergence among the many taxa of porcini closely allied to the type species, B. edulis (clade ‘‘Boletus sensu stricto’’, Fig. 4), and the much greater divergence between the group these taxa form and the phylogenetically allied lineages of porcini sensu lato, we have chosen to recognize the several distinct, ancient divergences at the rank of genus. Hence, in addition to the aforementioned ‘‘Boletus sensu stricto’’, we used three new provisional generic names (Fig. 4): (1) ‘‘Inferiboletus’’ (inferi – meaning ‘‘southern’’) is represented by the single new species from Australia (REH8969) and the only known representative of porcini native to the southern hemisphere; (2) ‘‘Obtextiporus’’ (meaning ‘‘woven over pores’’, in reference to the ‘‘stuffed pore’’-type partial veil) is represented by the single new species from Thailand; (3) ‘‘Alloboletus’’ (allo – meaning ‘‘other’’ in reference to the previous recognition that it was distinct from Boletus) corresponds to the divergent group that was traditionally treated with porcini but was recently recognized as morphologically distinct by Halling and Both (1998). The new names are provisional because we feel it would be premature to formally describe new genera based on the few specimens currently available. Our recognition of ‘‘Alloboletus’’, instead of Xanthoconium as proposed by Halling and Both (1998), is supported by the paraphyly of Xanthoconium in our phylogeny (Fig. 4). Although we have not included X. stramineum, the nomenclatural type of Xanthoconi- um, we have observed extensive divergence between the ITS sequences of X. stramineum and ‘‘Alloboletus’’ (unpubl.), suggesting that they are not closely related. Moreover, X. stramineum, X. affine, and X. purpureum have immature pores that appear ‘‘closed’’, not covered by partial veil (Singer, 1947, 1986; Watling, pers. obs.), there is no reticulum on the stipe, and they lack the characteristic aroma and flavor of porcini (Dentinger, D. Arora, pers. obs.). Nonetheless, we acknowledge that future work may show that X. stramineum is closely related to X. separans, thereby rendering ‘‘Alloboletus’’ obsolete. 4.4. Molecular clock estimates of porcini origin and divergence Using two different calibration dates, our relaxed molecular clock analyses suggest that porcini originated sometime in the early Tertiary period during the late Eocene epoch, 41.9– 53.7 Mya (Table 4, Fig. 5). Our estimates for the origin of porcini, and its initial radiation (34.4–44.0 Mya), are nearly identical to the range of dates calculated by Bruns et al. (1998) for the radiation of the ‘‘Boletoid’’ lineage (approximately the Boletineae here) while our date for the divergence of Suillus from the Boletales (102.6– 132 Mya) exceeds the minimum age of the Suilloid clade (50 Mya) based on fossil evidence (LePage, 1997). Interestingly, the new taxon ‘‘Inferiboletus’’ (REH8969) is the first documented porcini native to the southern hemisphere, which could be a relict 1290 B.T.M. Dentinger et al. / Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 57 (2010) 1276–1292 of an ancient, widespread distribution. But because our range of dates for the divergence between this taxon and the rest of porcini is too young for porcini to have originated in Pangea or Gondwanaland (Scotese and Golonka, 1997), its presence in Australia suggests a more recent colonization of the continent, possibly from episodic, long-distance dispersal events, in agreement with several other recent studies in mushrooms (Moyersoen et al., 2003; Moncalvo and Buchanan, 2008). In any case, the Eocene was characterized by a warm, humid climate when the angiosperms diversified, and porcini may have originated and diversified at a time when the possibilities for ECM coevolution were great (Bruns et al., 1998). Our molecular clock dating and the discovery of ‘‘Inferiboletus’’ are also consistent with a Paleotropical origin of porcini, which has been suggested for Descolea (Horak, 1983) and the ECM lineages Russula (Pirozynski, 1983; Buyck, 1989), Hysterangiales (Hosaka et al., 2008), and Inocybaceae (Matheny et al., 2009). It is possible that our estimate for the origin of porcini is too young. For example, ancient relicts of porcini from sub-Saharan Africa and/or South America could add deep nodes that may push the date of origin back. Recent fieldwork in south-central Africa has revealed a speciose assemblage of Boletineae (Watling, 1993) including at least one species with a ‘‘stuffed pore’’-type partial veil (D. Arora, pers. comm.). Furthermore, the recent discovery of the two species from Australia and Thailand illustrates that intensive fieldwork can uncover previously unknown taxa from mycologically underexplored areas. In general, the fungal diversity of ECM-dominated habitats in the Palaeotropics and biogeographically related regions is severely undersampled (Tedersoo et al., 2010). Additional fieldwork and phylogenetic studies examining the global biogeographic patterns of boletes are sorely needed to further clarify the evolutionary and biogeographic histories of these diverse and important ECM fungi. 5. Conclusion For the first time, we have found molecular phylogenetic evidence for a monophyletic porcini. Our discovery of previously unknown lineages of porcini from Australia and Thailand combined with time divergence estimates indicate an ancient, possibly Palaeotropical origin of these boletes. However, the genes selected for our analysis were not able to fully resolve phylogenetic relationships of the Boletineae, which is critical for formal reclassification of this diverse suborder and for understanding the evolution of morphological, biogeographic, and ecological traits in this important group of predominantly ectomycorrhizal fungi. This may be simply because these genes carry signals that are inappropriate for resolving nodes at this phylogenetic level, or it may be because the Boletineae radiated rapidly, leaving few genetic signatures at the time of their divergence from a common ancestor. Resolving short, deep nodes is a particularly difficult problem for phylogenetic reconstruction and future work with the Boletineae may require a combination of broad taxon and geographic sampling with extensive DNA sequencing.
