Brown pored bolete to i.D

Recommended Posts

These were growing prolifically in a hardwood forest in southwestern ontario, some quite large at maturity 6 inch caps with light brown cap turning browner and underside pores also turning more brown. Blueing of cap, pores, stipe. Brown olive spore print. Taste mild, smell a bit funky. The pores could be peeled away easily from yellowish flesh. I need a bit of help to i.d.  but i'll take a stab at it. Boletus vermiculosoides ?

Boletus vermiculosoides would be my first guess here. There's also B. vermiculosus --another brown-pored bolete-- but some mycologists suspect this may just be a slightly darker version of B. vermiculosoides. A third such species may be B. subgraveolens. This one is reported to have a cracked cap (in hot weather) and a strong odor, so maybe it applies here.    https://boletes.wpamushroomclub.org/product/boletus-subgraveolens/ Most of my collections of vermiculosus/vermiculosoides have red flesh in the bottom 1/4-1/3 of the stipe.
