I don't know, wolfe.  I don't see the reticulation you are talking about and I'm not sure how many Ceps I've seen with decurrent pores.  I'm not real good at Boletus though so wait for someone else to chime in.

I would almost guess Sullus, but if the stem is reticulated as you say then you did find the first spring king of the season.  Back the camera off a couple inches and make sure macro is enabled.  How is the PG&E weather modification treating you?

If it has a yellow pore surface and does not stain blue, the chance of it being poisonous is 0%, regardless of what species it is.  Might be an interesting one.

Alan nothing remotly glandular about the stem wall and no veil, also not vicid but then...

also taste mild/mellow (maybe even nutty) that darker color in the middle of the cross sectiuon is very pale smoky?

I happen to be one of the "down winders" in the article that pg&e said would be unharmed in the same sentence they promised to not release the iodide when it might flow into the towns of shasta and weed... if its not dangerouse to me why promise to keep it out of their lungs like it makes a dif...?

if this storm coming in the morning is mellow I have an early tooth cleaning tuesday at 1000-2000 ft elevation around one of last years forest fires I'll call you and let you know if the morels are up but don't tell anyone;)

I seriously doubt that is a Cep.  As far as the morels go, I'd go look for the heck of it.

Yeah, doesn't look like a king or a Boletus species for that matter.  Probably a spring Suillus of some kind.  I'll poke around a little for an ID.

Maybe Suillus brevipes.

No way. That's not a king bolete. Even though they might not look exactly the same in the US as they do here, the general characteristics are way off. I've never seen the pore tubes growing down the stem like that on Boletus edulis and they are my main game. My money is on Sullus.

so I think I'll say it was the best tasting S. brevipes I ever tried, but then it was the first. I pealed the cap Wich was harder than it should have been, I think, and the taste was definitly nuttier than the butters. As for the reticulation? maybe a fiberousness from having found it so old. flesh was thick but not as solid as Rex and the cap darker than an old S. brevipes and not any slimier than some B rex-vers i'ved washed, but it did not wash off the way rex does, (I ussually rub the top under water untill the slippiest of the feel goes away)

the decurrent tubes was why I asked to begin with... but I over looked a couple of statements about the lack of glandular dots on S brevipes. though nothing says brevipes has decurrent tubes either also for being so old and cold the cap stayed dark brown.

I looked for more today but found only a russula traped under a thin root causing some defomity, like even the land is telling them "that's enough of you now"

THANXS for the help,

It is probably Suillus brevipes, granulatus or lactifluus.  In younger samples, S. lactifluus regularly shows milky droplets on the pore surface.  S. granulatus will have small brown "granules" (read: dots) on the upper 1/2 of the stalk.  S. brevipes will not likely have either of these two features.  I have yet to see a complete explanation of the difference between these three species in one volume.  All three presumably occur in my regular hunting grounds, but I've only observed S. granulatus and lactifluus with any degree of certainty. 

In any case, all three are edible and are of similar taste.  Be sure to peel the cuticle from Suillus species before eating as it can cause gastro-upsets in some people.  In addition, wear gloves while doing this or bear the brown stains on your fingertips for days after.  (They do not show up immediately, only after an extended period of time.)
