eat-bolete Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 I know Dave's not here but I'll take anyone's guess. Don't worry I won't eat none based on your ID as I never collected them, just took pictures, no liability so shoot The small long-stemmed bolete had velvety, slightly corrugated cap, taste was pleasant. Small bulbous bolete - can it be B. huronensis? it didn't blue. Last mushroom with red cap and curry decurrent gills - I couldn't find anything in the book that looks like it, so I'm stumped.

John Smalldridge Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Here's my guess. 1st may be b. hortonii. 2nd appears to be possibly a young b. edulis group, possibly b. separans ect. It's hard to tell because of the bug damage. The last appears to be a gilled bolete such as phylloporus rhodoxanthus. Just guessing, especially the second one.

gregwaszak Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 when you have a bolete, the closer you can get to where the stipe (stem) meets the cap, the better. reticulation is shown at this junction and is important for identification purposes.

eat-bolete Posted August 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 Oh yeah, P. rhodoxanthus seems to be correct, I like that proposal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ladyflyfsh Posted August 4, 2015 Report Share Posted August 4, 2015 for sure the last ones are gilled boletes. The first one has the appearance of a Leccinum I find in FL, but maybe hortonii, the second one looks like it's of the B. edulis group, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smalldridge Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 I just saw a post by mycowalt on mushroom observer that showed a mushroom similar to the first one posted above. It was listed as Leccinum rubropunctum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 9, 2015 Report Share Posted August 9, 2015 Leccinum rubropunctum is not a species I have personally IDed. This Mushroom Observer post by Noah Siegel looks like a good fit for the one seen above. http://mushroomobserver.org/24474?q=2cjR3 B. hortonii doesn't have the raised tufts of yellow hairs on the stalk. Otherwise, this species matches pretty well. Nicely explained about the surface of the stem (#2) greg. A smooth stalk surface on a bulbous white stalk could possibly point to Boletus huronensis. This species resembles B. edulis except for the lack of any reticulations on the stalk. Very slight bluing is sometimes seen on B. huronenisis, possibly in the area of flesh that has been bug-eaten in the one shown. Some edulis types show very fine reticulations only near the stalk apex. In North America B. edulis represents a collection of fairly similar species. To get a better read on the Gilled Bolete species (Phylloporus), it's necessary to see the base of the stalk. The species P. rhodoxanthus (yellow stalk base) and P. leucomycelinus (white stalk base) are otherwise pretty similar. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eat-bolete Posted August 10, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 Thank you! Is L. rubropunctum edible? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 North American Boletes lists Boletus rubropuctus as "edible." L. rubropunctum is the same species by a different name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
