Brought him home and will try to clone it.

Also mashed his remains and tried to "plant" them around on the grounds, beneath some oak and beech trees.
My first attemp at cloning from a wild mushroom, wish me luck

Gorgeous pictures. 
You might get some mycelium growing, but I guess you'll have to transfer it to a sufficient root system to have hopes of it fruiting.
A friend of mine claimed to have buried some Lactaiurs at the base of a pine in his garden, and got fruits after several years. Maybe that is all it takes, without going via mycelium.

Hey, thanks. Yeah, that's the plan, we have our own forest and I'll try to bulk some mycelium in liquid culture and then use my pressure mister to douse an area to see if I can get it to take

Check with the folks in the cultivation forum. They might be helpful with hints. I have no idea how to eventually spread mycorrhizal species, but the main growth happens around the root branch tips if I'm not entirely mistaken.
It would be awesome to see if this is working out. I reckon you'll have to wait a while, perhaps some years.

Cool photos. I would have removed the grass from in front of the stem, it doesn't look like much when you are taking the pictures but cameras are 2D so you can't see around them in the photo.
The clones you are making might work, but they are a lot larger than necessary, which increases chances of contamination. I recommend making much smaller clones, the size of a grain of rice or smaller, 6 clones per plate in a circle, 5 plates. Still might not grow but you have more chances that way.

Thanks for your comments and feedback. I've come a long way since then and my home is now overflowing with LC jars everywhere, grain bags and substrate bags and have another tent coming from Amazon :P
I did manage to grow some mycelium from the Luridus in an LC jar, none of the plates turned out good - or at least I think so. Just did a transfer from LC to agar plates and will see if the mycelium looks like what I am used to from other species
