Looks like a Tylopilus sp. to me.

Break off a tiny piece, nibble it, and SPIT IT OUT. Is it very bitter?

EDIT: Perhaps

I'm a newby but I am in CT and have been finding a bolete very similar to this that I believe is a "Xanthoconium" (yellow, cone shaped spores). I can't see how to attach a pic, but I'll post one later if I can. The caps are purple-brown, often cracked, revealing white flesh, the stems have purple shading, and the pores are dense and chalky-white. Mushroom Expert website lists this as one in the "edulis" group. Anyway, I have cooked and eaten some of these. The stems, esp. if cooked too long are very bitter, but the caps seem sweet.

Hope this helps.

It will taste very bitter almost immediately!

The real myth is the myth of sanity, of rationality: it's a disease that is eating away at the earth. All the poisons flow from our denial. We deny madness, we forget our crimes, we dismember the corpse, we imprison our children. We need poison to poison the poison, to remember the sacred nature of intoxication, the green body of the young god." ~ Dale Pendell

What you describe is in the genus Xerocomus (google "Xerocomus chrysenteron"). I've never heard of this specific trait in a bolete (stem bitter and cap nice tasting) ever in the past 35+ years.

The mushroom pictured here is a Tylopilus. It is not an edible bolete. It's bitter taste will ruin any dish.

One thing I noticed, all Tylopilus descriptions mention reticulation or webbing on the stem.  Out of the dozen I collected, none exhibited this trait.

Not all species of Tylopilus will have a reticulate stem. Not all Boletus species do, either.

Happy mushrooming!
