Hi Mark, thanks for the edit. Originally I had a name in that field, but when trying to remove it on the mobile app (upon realizing I wasn't sure), it wouldn't accept/save the empty field...just a little glitchy as I have found the app sometimes can be (haven't had the problem before or since).

Hi dingodog. I have removed the "?" from the scientific name field. If you put anything in there the spotting shows up as identified so others don't see it as needing suggestions. Please leave it clear until you have the correct binomial name. I think Vlad's suggestions are pretty good btw.

This is either a Ruby Bolete (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boletus_rubellus) or a Rhubarb Bolete (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boletellus_obscurecoccineus)
