Boletus edulis?

In my experience around southwestern BC, any Bolete that has obvious netting on the stem is a close relative of B. edulis and is edible.  A taste test will show no bitterness, nor will there be any blue staining (that only seems to happen outside of the Pacific Northwest).  However, I see that your specimen is being attacked by the bolete mold, Hypomyces chrysospermus, which renders it inedible.  There appear to be several varieties or species of Porcini around Vancouver; so, the color of the cap is quite variable.
