Dimi Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 This must be a bolete season. I just saw the previous post from Dmitriy and as I was about to post exactly the same. The only difference is the location - Massachusetts. To my novice eye, they look like Leccinums. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmitriy Posted August 17, 2020 Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 From the last photo looks like a bicolor bolete. Cap color on other photos looks a bit different, much less red tint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dimi Posted August 17, 2020 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2020 The color was a little off in the pics above. And I think Dmitriy is right - it’s a bicolor bolete as it passed this test - “a deep blue/indigo bruising of the pore surface and a less dramatic bruising coloration change in the stem over a period of several minutes“ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted August 18, 2020 Report Share Posted August 18, 2020 Baorangia (Boletus) bicolor can be difficult to ID because there are a number of look-alike species. Some suggestions for the future... 1. Extract entire mushrooms --including the bases of the stalks-- when harvesting for identification. 2. Take photos outdoors, but not in direct sunlight. Look for an area that's shaded but close to a sunlit area; for good ambient lighting without glare. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
