Maybe a Tylopilus species.

I don't think so, because of the gill color. In B. Edulis is yellowish, here we have white gills... that's why I said B. Reticulatus... and also because of the dark brown color on top, and if you look at the edge or the cap you can see it's lighter in shade, almost white.

That looks like a match, but it is only found in Europe. Do you think this one might be the same as my other, Boletus edulis?
