First of , in asnwer to your question about why it doesn't 'Google' well. As far as I can see, 'boletus' is the Latin name for the genus:

You don't say, but it looks as if your text is something like a menu or recipe - the name of a dish. So perhaps that's why it doesn't it's not that present on find on Google - because the scientific, Latin names for foodstuff aren't used in this context. After all, we don't order a plate of roast Sus or a Bos and vegetable stir-fry, so I guess it's the same with edible fungi.

As regards the suggestions I've made:
1. In culinary terms, 'porcini' (from the Italian 'porcino') (boletus edulis) is probably the most fashionable term at the moment
2. In the same context, 'cep' (from the Cataln 'cep'/French 'cèpe' (boletus edulis) is currently not so fashionable. Nonetheless, it's a classic usage.

3. It may be argued that we don't know if it's boletus edulis that's being referred to in your text and that it could be one of the other species of edible boletus (cf. the first URL above). If that's so and you have no way of finding out which species it is, then I wonder if it wouldn't be better to be descriptive, rather than scientific? You could also consider:
'Forest mushrooms in sour cream'
'Woodland mushrooms in sour cream'

I'm not arguing a case of familiarity, but of usage.It just isn't usual to use the scientific Latin names to describe a dish.When did you last eat e.g.Gadus and chips at the seaside? Or Spaghetti and Solanum lycopersicum sauce?

I'd have thought it certainly supports the notion of common usage! Especially since Japanese cuisine uses so many types of mushroom. Thank you :-)

boletus mushrooms in (sour) cream (sauce)
W przypadku borowików może to być "surowa" śmietana. Bardzo dobrze googlują "mushrooms in cream", a boletus to jednak polska specyfika.
