Aureoboletus zangii is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. It is found in Shaanxi, China, where it grows on the ground in broad-leaved mixed forests dominated by Cyclobalanopsis and Quercus. Fruitbodies are characterized in the field by the yellow-brown to reddish-golden colours, and sticky cap and stipe. Similar species include the Asian species A. thibetanus and the European A. gentilis.[1]
The bolete was described as new to science in 2013 by Xiao-Fei Shi and Pei-Gui Liu. The specific epithet honours Chinese mycologist and bolete specialist Mu Zang.[1]
