It's a bolete. I'm in the wrong part of the world and not familiar with your species, sorry.

Very hard to ID a Bolete that young. I see it has a yellow pore surface though, and a brown wavy cap. Was the blue bruising erratic? As in, did it happen within 1-3 seconds of you slicing it? I found some similar species last year, and again this year but can never get an ID on them. Most likely toxic, so don't eat that. There are a lot of really tasty Boletus though.

Maybe Boletus pulverulentus. With boletes, it's a good idea to get a closeup of the pore surface as well as the pattern on the stem. Also, note how long it takes to bruise or discolor when cut (some will turn blue instantly and some only gradually) and whether or not the pore surface bruises. Spore prints are kind of a pain in the ass to get out of a bolete, but very helpful if you can get one. If you run across a bolete that does not bruise blue and/or does not have and orange/red pore surface, tasting a little bit of it is a good identifier, too--some are easily confused with each other but can be separated by taste (usually extremely bitter vs. not bitter).
