About
Boletus manicus is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae of mushrooms. Found in the Wahgi valley Papua New Guinea, it was first described by French mycologist Roger Heim in 1963. Heim singled out this mushroom largely because of its similar appearance to Rubroboletus satanas. In the Wahgi language it is called gegwantsyi ngimbl. The word ngimbl in the south Wahgi dialect means pain, which describes the intense bitterness of the mushroom.
