Boletus pyrrhosceles is a species of bolete (pored mushroom) native to Colombia. It was described by Roy Halling in 1992 from material collected on 20 November 1988 near the highway between Pasto and Chachagüí in Nariño Department in the country's southwest, at an altitude of 2700 m. It was classified in section Luridii, and thought most similar to Boletus austrinus, Boletus flammans and Boletus rubroflammeus. The species name is derived from the Ancient Greek words pyrrhos "red" and skelos "legs", referring to its stem.[1]
