New bolete

[ShrmlvrAir]

Hello! Looking for help identifying this bolete, I think it's a lilac bolete but I'm not 100% any one else want to guess? This was found in mixed forest on the ground no staining, with a bigger stem then the types we normally get but there's been lots of rain lately soo..

The shape and colors of the cap, pore surface and stem do very well match Boletus separans (lilac bolete) on its 1st day above ground.  I'm viewing this on a phone so I can't see the reticulate but fully suspect it is there. You mentioned a mixed forest, were any red oak, beech or maple there?

Hi! Thank you for replying 🙏🏼 it's a beautiful specimen that I was hunting for! The area is densely wooded there's a ton of birch maple beech hemlock nearby are spruce fir pine, ferns a wild tiny stream... I did get a spore print and it looks a bit pinky/blush. (Ignore the actual blue spot on the right.) I only had used kid paper available.

Although the most common spore print colors are yellowish brown and ochre brown, pale reddish brown is mentioned from some areas so it does fit within the range of spore print color shades for B separans. The beech trees, damp area near a stream and time of appearance match. To be 100% you'd need a drop of ammonia hydroxide placed on any reddish pink area of the fresh mushroom and a quick blue green reaction would confirm it to B separans.

Il a certainement l'apparence d'un bolet lilas, surtout avec cette grosse tige pâle et sa calotte rosâtre. Je voudrais quand même voir la base de la tige, les pores et une nouvelle coupe transversale avant de l'appeler, car quelques cèpes similaires peuvent sembler presque identiques après une période de pluie. Pour une comparaison plus complète des sites de paris, Nalucasino est une autre plateforme qui mérite d'être vérifiée. La partie utile est de voir comment sa variété de marché et nalu casino avis ses cotes diffèrent de celles des bookmakers rivaux.

The reply above is another AI answer, like the one in the previous topic.

Here's a couple more pics after I cut one in half. It's very fluffy and dry. The stem was quite chewed in by slugs - darn slugs... Can I ask vitog, what do you mean ai answer?

AI is an acronym for Artificial Inteligence, which is the technology being used by some people to produce automatic responses to some forum topics.  There have been a lot of those in these forums; some of them sound reasonable and some are ridiculous.

I understand, I like to use these forums instead of ai. Sometimes I find out as much as I can on my own but I still need real people with real experience so Thank you I appreciate your real response. 🙏🏼 

Happy mushroom hunting - bring on the oysters n lionsmane!! 🍄‍🟫🍄
