John Smalldridge Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 I saw this bolete and thought it was really interesting. Just wondering if this might be boletus rubroflammeus. If not, any suggestions.
Dave W Posted September 16, 2014 Report Posted September 16, 2014 Checked a couple sources... B. rubroflammeus should show quite a bit of bluing on the cut context, but the one seen here shows virtually no internal staining. So I think B. carminiporus is a better bet for this ID. This type reportedly does not stain on the cut flesh. Southeastern NA distribution. Nice photos of really beautiful mushrooms. I have never seen this species up here in PA.
John Smalldridge Posted September 16, 2014 Author Report Posted September 16, 2014 Thanks DaveW for the help. Good to see you posting again Cedric.
Savbird Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 I found a few reddish capped boletes down here in se GA yesterday after (finally) getting some rain, but spores & stem were yellow with serious blue staining. I thought they were seriously poisonous (& didn't take a photo), is that correct please? (Always my luck down here, either this kind or really gone over with bugs! Sigh.)
ladyflyfsh Posted September 17, 2014 Report Posted September 17, 2014 We need to see them...take some photos in situ where they are growing with top of cap, under side of cap and close up of the stem and pores.
