Background: Derived from the study of the mycobiota associated with Quercus oleoides Schltdl. et Cham., tropical oaks have been explored in Tabasco, finding great diversity in numerous fungal groups, such as boletoids macromycetes. Question: What is the diversity of the mycobiota of Boletales poroides associated with tropical oaks of Tabasco? Species Study: Order Boletales Study sites and date: municipality of Balancán in the state of Tabasco, 2012 – 2016. Methods: Collections of boletoid fungi associated with Q. oleoides were carried out according to conventional mycology techniques for taxonomic identification, a dichotomous key of the species found was performed and their geographical distribution was analyzed. Results: Up to now, nine species assigned to five genera and two families of boletoid macromycetes have been identified. Conclusions: All species are new records for the State, thus expanding its geographic distribution, it is the first record of macromycetes associated with tropical holm oaks in southeastern Mexico.
