Russell's or Admirable Bolete maybe?

   These were found in a mid aged jack pine plantation. Cap and stems size around 6 inches. White at the very base of the stem underground, sometimes attached to the base of stumps both jack pine and once to young aspen. It seems to match better Admirable bolete than Russell's bolete but I'm in eastern coast Canada well awhile from Admirable known range. I haven't been around the site for a few years glad to see its still going strong  cheers

I see Aureoboletus projectellus seems a reasonable match except I don't see it mentioned as being occasionally attached to the base of stumps.

Those are gorgeous specimens, that reticulation on the stems is just gorgeous. Range extensions like this are always fascinating, nature doesn't really care about the field guide maps we draw. Definitely worth a spore print and maybe posting to a regional mycology group too, a find outside the known range like that is worth documenting properly.  Crownplay is another name that may come up when researching online sports betting sites. It is easy enough to browse the sportsbook and see which competitions and betting crownplay-au.net markets are currently represented.

Excellent idea MasonBlake, I'll mail in a dried sample to the provincial mycologist. I'm new to these Aureoboletus and have found a few interesting things on them. Aureoboletus projectellus has recently from NA appeared in Eastern and Baltic Europe around 2010 and has become invasive in sandy pine forest. Some were originally annoyed as it was a distraction from the other more popular pine king bolete, quickly though they started being gathered by foragers and appear in farmers markets but since they are new and invasive they are not yet sold commercial due to govt regulations. These are good eating, they turn golden when cooked, I was surprised with a nice smooth lemon flavour. These Aureoboletus members  also supposedly have the largest spores of any boletes in NA and are easy to ID from each other by spores. I'll post back later on whether this is A projectellus or mirabilis or a new unknown species.

I had no luck finding anyone in my region to send dried mushroom for spore testing but did find a video on you tube creator Boletus rejoice and one of his video does show Aueroboletus projectellus does often grow right against pine tree trunks which matches well my finds here in NB Canada. Boletus rejoice videos are made in the southern US under a different type of pine trees but we're both within the eastern NA range for Aueroboletus projectellus. It's fun to find new types of wild mushrooms after several decades at this adventure in our nature.

Oh hey if your in NB I know who to ask!! Her name is Jessica and she's located near Freddy. She has a Facebook group for NB mycology society. 

Sorry Jessika from

Enchanted forest mushroom walks. I was in her group for a couple years but I don't Facebook so..
