Those are some really cool looking mushrooms.

They appear to be Boletes, and might be in the genus Boletus.

Looks just about like a purple version of Boletus frostii.

Check the pore color and staining reactions when you pick them.

Please post some more pics.

Its not active but it might be edible.  Or maybe toxic.

Not too many Boletus species have such pronounced reticulation.  Also important to note is that the pileus of this species is not viscid.

It could be some kind of Heimioporus, Austroboletus or Boletellus as well.  Those genera seem to have the exceptionally reticulate stipe as a more common feature.

Here are some more pics of the shrooms.  There are a lot more running up the mountainside.  They have flattened out more and some are covered in white fuzzy mold.   



This is a brown one nearby.  They are mostly the purplish color.

Good call.

The pore surface seems too light to be in the genus Boletus.

GibbiPicasso, try posting these on mushroomobserver.org, someone there may know.

Gibbi, the mould is a parasitic fungi in the genus Hypomyces.

The brown mushroom is a different species of Bolete.

Am I too far out there in thinking this mushroom could be in the Tylopilus genus?

The reticulations on the stems are strongly reminiscent to me of Tylopilus felleus, while the only purple boletes I have ever seen were Tylopilus plumbeoviolaceus.


Just a thought :cool:

Could be, though the reticulation seen with T. felleus hardly compares with that of B. frostii, or some species within the genera Heimioporus, Austroboletus, or Boletellus.

H. betula


A. niveus


B. russellii
