Maybe Austroboletus ??

Found in oak forest amongst the buldbous specimens in “Austroboletus gracilis” post  

Stain brown

Mild pleasant taste

Seperated these from other post because stems were different  

Again, I apologize for lighting

It would be interesting if A. gracilis is found as far south as LA, and in oak woods. It's primarily a northern conifer associate. But these do look somewhat like A. gracilis. However, I tend to think these are a species of Tylopilus. In either case, spore print has a pinkish or reddish tinge to the brown color. Austroboletus has spores with tiny pits on the surface... a tricky thing to observe even with 400x magnification.

What is the key feature that automatically says Tylopilus?

Or is it just years of observation and knowledge ?

I can’t seem to even get a genus correct on these boletes. Lol Guess I’ll have to bite the bullet and get Boletes of North America 

Tylopilus badiceps???

I believe this description is extremely close to what I observed. Especially the velvety cap.....mild (rather than bitter) taste 

Just found this ......

The stature of these mushrooms is very similar to Boletus. But the maturing pore surface tends toward brown with no sign of yellow/green points toward Tylopilus. Many types of boletes have pores that turn yellowish/green at maturity. Tylopilus pores turn pinkish/browinsh at maturity. Also, with few exceptions, Tylopilus mushrooms do not stain blue, but many of them stain brown/pinkish-brown on the pores and/or cut flesh. (One exception is T. sordidus, which stains both blue and red.) Austoboletus gracilis is a sorta oddball that exhibits some traits associated with Tylopilus. It had been placed in genus Tylopilus for some time.
