Habitat: Growing under a birch tree
Pores: Yellowish olive, bruising brownish
Stem: 3-5", Brown, with webbing
Cap: 6-8", Brown
Spore print color: I'll let you know when I have it
Bruising: The pores bruised a brownish color
Other information: Smells great

If you need any more info on them just let me know
Any help is always appreciated!

And should I cut away the pores from the cap before I start to dry them?
I'm sure that they are some type of edible bolete, but it would be pretty kickass if they are Kings.

I think the general rule is that the white-pored boletes are edible... but I dont think that is boletus edulis. The king is fatter and more brown, I believe. This dude seems a little pink and lenky.

why? ive never seen B. edulis with such a slender stalk. it always gets at least 2 in thick when i find it. and also i never see that fuzzy stuff around the pores on the stipe.
so just curious Alan as what tipped you off to B edulis?

The spore print was olive by the way.
I think that Boletus edulis in the states varies a lot

I think the fuzzy stuff is reticulation.
On the east coast its common to see B. edulis with a slender stalk. Check http://mushroomobserver.org/observer/observation_search?pattern=Boletus+edulis
There are some pictures of B. edulis with very thick stalks from the east, but many of them lack that feature.

Only if the mushroom is mature and the pores are full of bugs. Leave them if you can get away with it, the pores have a lot of the flavor.

Thanks for that also Fry. I'll keep that in mind for the next time I hunt for these.
These literally grow across the street from me

How do you keep that from contaminating with things like botulism?
