I"m pretty sure it is a bolete. At the time I took it, I was thinking more of a good close up of the underside of a bolete type mushroom. I'm doubting it's either. We're near sea level and have no larches anywhere. Elegans is marginally closer, but I don't remember that much color. There were a lot of vaguely heart shaped boletes with a dry buff colored cap, if that helps, and I"m pretty sure this was one of those

the underside looks more like some of a polypores ( polyporus sp ) and not from a boletus. But with the ring and stem and without seeing the cap i would suggest genus"suillus" the european sp. "tridentinus". { boletaceae's have usual smaller pores/pipes , [Exceptions prove the rule], and polyporaceae [dryads sattle] have mostly no ring at the stem. } sadly that you don't have the cap as photo. but search in the fam. of boletaceae's --> boletus, gyroporus, xerocomus, leccinum, SUILLUS, and some others. !! good luck

I couldn't find any reference to that species
