Becky Poulos Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Found on Long Island NY, near oak and scrub pine. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Mushroom Expert says Aureoboletus mirabilis grows with hemlock in the pacific northwest up to Alaska... but It does not say anything about the east coast? I'm guessing this is something else. Is there any staining on the pore surface or the stem or interior flesh when bruised/cut? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky Poulos Posted September 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 No, that yellowish color is present even when cut or prodded. The stem is a creamy white color inside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendan Posted September 12, 2020 Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 I can't really tell in the photos, is the stem reticulated (with a raised fishnet-like pattern)? I'm not sure I can ID this one, someone else will be along who can help more though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Becky Poulos Posted September 12, 2020 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2020 Yes, it does have that pattern. No worries, I was just curious. Maybe you could tell me if these are chanterelles, though? I believe they are, based on the gill shape. But I want to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 14, 2020 Report Share Posted September 14, 2020 Becky, I believe your bolete with the red stem featuring vertically stretched reticulations is Aureoboletus projectellus. This is an eastern NA species that is quite common in the Pine Barrens of NJ. The habitat you describe sounds a lot like the Pine Barrens --small pines and oak. Species associated with the Pine Barrens often turn up in other east coast areas featuring similar habitat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
