A young Red-mouth Bolete aka Boletus subvelutipes
The colors are brilliant!
After picking. Note the blue staining on the stem.
A baby bolete (1.25" high) which has a tapered root at the
bottom of stem (not visible).
Top. Cap 1" diameter.
Looks like it is under attack by a Hypomyces of some sort. Note white at
the edge of cap.
This one looks like the same mushroom where the attack
progressed.
