Field Notes
Description:
Large red and tan-yellow bolete. The cap was areolate. The flesh was yellow, but starting to rot. The stem was red on the bottom and yellow near the cap. The pores were rotting, but still bruised instantly when marked. Cap size was 5-9cm diameter.
Habitat:
Deciduous forest
Notes:
The deep blue bruising of the pores, and the less than dramatic/absent bruising in the stem and flesh over a period of several minutes are identifying characteristics that distinguish this species from similar poisonous species, such as Boletus sensibilis.
