Buchwaldoboletus hemichrysus is a species of bolete fungus that grows on the ground in association with pine trees. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits from May to October, producing small to medium-sized caps that are yellow to golden brown in color, often with a reddish-brown or olive tint. The pores are yellow, becoming greenish-yellow with age, and the stipe is slender and yellow to orange-yellow. It has been found in various regions of East and Central Texas, including the Piney Woods and Post Oak Savannah ecoregions, where it grows in sandy soils under loblolly, shortleaf, and slash pines.
