We have found P. panuoides  only under introduced pines at Poli Poli Springs
State Recreation Area on the southwestern slope of Haleakala, Maui.  Common
throughout the Northern Hemisphere, the saprotrophic P. panuoides  is probably not
congeneric with the type species of the genus Paxillus , e.g., the ectotrophic P.
involutus  (Batsch : Fr.) Fr., and should be referred to as Tapinella panuoides  (Fr.: Fr.)
