Anybody know what this is?? Looked like a Bolete, but I was sure it wasn't and left it there.. Fungus everywhere :-)

Boletus edulis or something closely related that's just as good.

Boletus edulis complex. Depends on where you're located, type of tree it was growing with etc.

Live and learn... thanks - Really not sure what tree it was, but it was definately underneath one, and Uk, grassy meadow.
Edit : Just read this... "Btw, the pores on b. edulis are white until they start to sporulate" Wish I knew this earlier..

Definitely bolete. Without more info hard to get species but im willing to guess edulis. Nice find and wait for a TI to confirm please. Too slow again but obviously I concur.

This is how they look when they're very young and pristine, and at their finest. The darker the pores, the lower the quality of taste and texture.

Haha, I edited my post, and I was just laughing at myself for taking a photo because I believed it was a Boletus, and doubting myself enough to leaving the specimen behind.. (over 50 miles from me, no car)

I'm pouring salt on the wound, I know! But they taste wonderful, especially this young. With older specimens drying is the best route.
Go back for them first thing in the morning!! Oh bummer.
