  1. I'm not sure if it's Suillus. It might be something more like Porphyrellus porphyrosporus, but I can't confirm. Posted 6 months ago
    1. This is what I initially thought too. A couple of imaged just didn't match to closely. I'm good with moving it to Porphyrellus porphyrosporus Posted 6 months ago
      1. Ok, sounds good for now. Posted 6 months ago

''Porphyrellus porphyrosporus'', commonly known as the dusky bolete, is a rare fungus belonging to the family Boletaceae. With its purple-brown cap and stem, ''P. porphyrosporus'' is not easy to spot, despite its large size. This summer and autumn species occurs under pines, but can also be found beneath deciduous trees. It is a large brown bolete. Its most distinctive features are the purple-brown spore print and the blue-green colour of the flesh at the top of the stem and above the hymenium.
