In works published before 1987, the binomial name was written fully as Boletus aereus Fr., as the description by Bulliard had been sanctioned (i.e., treated as if conserved against earlier homonyms and competing synonyms) in 1821 by the "father of mycology", Swedish naturalist Elias Magnus Fries.
Prior to 1987, the scientific name Boletus aereus was written fully according to Bulliard's original description, which had been officially recognized as valid and distinct from earlier similar names by Elias Magnus Fries, considered the "father of mycology", in 1821.
