Boletus bainiugan is a species of porcini-like fungus native to Henan, Sichuan and Yunnan Provinces in Central and Southwestern China, where it grows under Pinus yunnanensis, Pinus kesiya and Castanea mollissima.[2] It is closely related to Boletus reticulatus.[1]

The epithet bainiugan is the Hanyu Pinyin transcription of the fungus's Mandarin name, 白牛肝 "white porcini". The other epithet meiweiniuganjun likewise is a transcription of 美味牛肝菌 "delicious porcini", a name originally used to translate the epithet of Boletus edulis.
