Oh yeah - and no reaction to ammonia.

I know boletes can be tricky to ID.
Can anyone confirm edibility?

Thanks for your help.

I'm pretty sure any bolete that doesn't have red pores is more or less edible. My dad and I have been picking Boletes in Oregon for six years now and we have eaten pretty much all the yellow pore boletes we find, including the slimy jacks, and we have always enjoyed them with no negative effects. Do note, though, that slimy jacks are really not a choice mushroom...

I googled it and found something:

"The poisonous boletes, such as Frost's bolete, all have a red pore surface under the cap, and the flesh turns blue instantly when you bruise or tear it — quite spectacular. Some boletes, such as the two-color bolete, turn blue slowly when you bruise or tear them, but the undersides aren't red, and they're nonpoisonous.

Even some edible species (in the genus Suillus) have a slimy layer on the cap surface that gives some people diarrhea if they don't peel and discard this layer."

Regardless of the specific species, if you're thinking about eating them, those boletes are pretty far along. If I had to bet I'd say that they're soft and riddled with bugs.

Try and look for the younger ones next time.

A couple of the specimens are of younger maturity and from the specific cap section image, it does not appear to be infested the least.  However, a couple of the others seem a bit mature for consumption.  Appearance and character similar to (Boletus pulverulentus), but you conducted the ammonia flash test?

Yes, I dripped ammonia on the cap surface, and there was no color change.

And my pores look much smaller than Boletus pulverulentus.

I have a few young ones. I wanted to show both young and old ones in the photos.

The caps are all cratered. But not buggy. I saw a big black squirrel tending the patch. I think he has been nibbling on the caps.

Thanks for the help!

I think I'm going to chicken out on this one.
After reading Kuo's recommendations on poisonous boletes I think they are probably safe, but not recommended for beginners.
It's that word probably that gives me pause.
And I'm definitely a beginner.
I'd be braver if it didn't bruise blue.

Some of the blue stainers with yellow pores are slightly toxic.

Frost's bolete (Boletus frostii) has red pores and stains blue very quickly, but its edible if you remove the pellicle.
