Hmmm. Boletus is a genus commonly represented among edible mushrooms by
boletus edulis, characterized by tube-shaped spore structures, instead
of gills under the cap. Commonly called Cepes in French, Porcini in
Italian, and Steinpilze in German, all modern versions of the respective
languages. I can't say if this holds true in archaic versions of the
languages in question.
