I need a clearer picture of that stem. :wink:

Any verdict on the spore print?

all of the large, blueing boletes with reticulation on the stipe that i've found in the cascades have been bitters.
have you tasted it yet?

Messed up spore print, starting a new one now. Meanwhile, here's a better picture of the stipe. Taste is pretty bitter, actually.



Edit: I'm leaning towards Boletus coniferarum now, but not sure.

I'm guessing your spore print is gonna be brownish/olive. :smile:

Could be Boletus coniferarum if it blues almost instantly when cut.

Cut the big guy, and he does blue pretty quickly, though just faintly.

:thumbup:

B. coniferarum is where I'm putting my money. There aren't that many bitter Boletus sp. If it tastes anything like Tylopilus felleus, it's best described as "bitter asshole".

It does taste kinda like T. felleus, though quite a bit less intensely so. I think it's settled then, thanks a lot!
