ID request - Bright red bluing bolete

Hi -
I found this on my recent trip to Jalisco, Mexico.
Cactu thought it was Boletus frostii however that species has a heavily reticulate stem.
It didn't have a strong taste and it blued VERY quickly.

Lets be honest here, you painted the caps...
Seriously though thats an interesting find. I can't find anything in my keys so I'm sorry to say I can't help.

I believe what you have found is a Scarlet Waxy Cap, also know as Hygrocybe Coccinea. Altho i may be wrong, yours and my guide look very similar and have relatively the same characteristics.

beautifull colours!
and psylo_subliminal, hygrocybes don't resemble boletes very much. look for example under the cap of the one in the picture, it has pores (little tubes) instead of gills.

As kaal was saying, Hygrocybe is a gilled mushroom, where as Boletes are by definition, mushrooms with pores or tubes rather than gills.

here's a younger boletus rubbellus;
Your's has a suspect cap which kinda looks slimy/sticky but defintely has a distinct texture on the cap and the stem . Nice find for sure.

I see you're guessing B. rubroflammeus at the mushroomobserver site. I don't think that's it, as that species is listed in North American Boletes as having "dark red reticulation over at least the upper portion" of the stipe. I haven't been able to find any good matches in my books for those. It may be a tropical species that won't be in any of my books.
Happy mushrooming!

I know that now, I got that info from my National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms. And upon further study i realized that Boletes are porous and tubular gilled. But thanks for the corrections, all helpful info is appreciated seeing as how im still rather new to this whole game.
