Some of the unusual things about
this bolete was that the cap was dry, dark brown and velvety, more brown
than a B. aereus and without the hoary sheen, and the stem, in both the
young and older specimen, had the dark, exaggerated
reticulations. The white pores were very small. I thought it tasted both
fresh and cooked like the B. edulis.
The larger specimen was reportedly found near a Douglas Fir. Any ideas out there?
