Hi there, I live in Texas and have been seeing a lot of these "porcini" pop up after the rain. Being a huge fan of the way foraged mushrooms taste, I'd be really interested in finding out if these are indeed an edible species. Characteristics Found on lawns and mulch near live oaks and under garden shrubs. The cap is a velvety, suede-brown and the rest of the mushroom is a lurid yellow Most of the specimens I found are relatively young and retain a button-like appearance--uncertain what the mature cap would look like The pores are small and dense, and the concavity of the cap makes it difficult to get a print Netting found toward the top of the stem No redness or color change at the base of the mushroom Upon handling or slicing, the mushroom quickly bruises blue, which fades to an indigo-gray. Marking the cap and the pores underneath produces blue bruising The bruising is darker indigo at the base and the cap, with lighter bruising at the stem After some digging, I suspect it might be Boletus luridellus (examples) or neoboletus pseudosulphureus. But the stem bases are not at all red, so I'd hate to eat them and find out that they are actually the poisonous Boletus huronensis. 👉🏼 Any suggestions for other tests I should do to be confident in my identification? Thanks in advance! Photos

Hello, I found these mushrooms that began growing on my grass. Their inside is mostly yellow but they quickly turn blue when cut or bruised. An automatic detection app said it was probably the Lurid Bolete, but I have been told that the stem is usually different. Any ideas of what these are?

I found this very interesting little mushroom this morning on my walk in the woods. Its white cap had a faint pink center and was holding a very thick layer of gooey slime. The edges of the cap seemed to have tan spikes sticking out of the slime. Its stem is yellowish and has a ring. It has slightly beige gills. It was growing on an oak branch on the ground. Small, about the size of a half-dollar coin. I would love to know what this is!
