Ernst E. Both is a retired Curator of Astronomy from the Buffalo Museum of Science where he served the public for over over 30 years. He was also, until his recent retirement, a former Director of the Buffalo Museum of Science. His long term interests in boletes has resulted in several publications on these organisms. His book on The Boletes of North America is a definitive source of information on the systematics of this group of fungi for the North American continent. Both's study of boletes has and continues to be both a vocation and avocation, and clearly a labor of love. The short discussions for each species presented here were written by Both, and many of these collections were obtained and photographed on joint excursions with Baroni. All collections shown are supported by voucher specimens curator at either the Buffalo Museum of Science Herbarium (BUF) or the Herbarium at SUNY - College at Cortland (CORT).
