John Smalldridge Posted June 28, 2016 Report Share Posted June 28, 2016 The first appears to be Boletus ornatipes except that it is very bitter and leaves a yellow residue on your hands. The next is Pulveroboletus ravenelii This is one of the difficult for me to ID red and yellow boletes. And finally a B. edulis type that I left in the truck to study later and forgot about that dried out completely in its whole state. Maybe a new way to save herbarium samples.

The Vault Dweller Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 The first maybe Pulvorboletus ravenelii since it supposedly has a coating of dry yellow powder (the name powdery sulphur bolete is quite descriptive) or Suillus americanus though that is supposed to have a yellow coating of slime and not powder (the name chicken fat mushroom sounds right). Oh wait the second one is Pulvorboletus ravenelii. I have no idea then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Smalldridge Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I don't believe the first two photos are P. Ravenelii because of a lack of blue bruising of the pores and no ring on the stem. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 I think the first one is Retiboletus ornatipes (same thing as Boletus ornatipes). Bitter flavor is not unusual in this species, except it's usually not very intense. The red & yellow boletes become even difficult after the colors fade, which looks like this may have been the case with the ones in photos 6 through 9. Last one looks like B. variipes.

John Smalldridge Posted July 1, 2016 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Thanks Dave. I had already ID'd the last one as B. Variipes, but thought it was interesting that it had dried out completely in its whole state. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
