Bolbitis ×nanjenensis is a hybrid between B. appendiculata and B. heteroclita. Bolbitis ×nanjenensis is very close to B. ×laxireticulata, both with rachis narrowly winged, but the latter differs by its sterile pinnae larger (4.5-7 × 1.5-2 cm) and margin ± entire to lobed to 2/5 toward costa, with a distinct spine in each sinus.
