Boletus appendiculatus
This bolete is ochre, reddish-brown or chestnut in colour, and can be greasy and felty, developing cracks near the centre. The pores are a bright lemon-yellow, becoming olive with age. Cap width 8 to 15cm. Stem height 8 to 12cm.
Seen late summer to early autumn. Found in deciduous woodland, but not exclusively with oak as the common name states. A rare bolete which is more frequent in the south.

We have lots of these in the area. Some of the locals tell us they’re edible but not very good. I love the photo of the pores under the cap.

Thank you, Jude. 🙂 Believe it or not, before I spotted this mushroom I had never seen one before and did not know what it was. It was a lovely find.
