On this day we went up to about 5200 ft. and found what I first IDed as a Tylopilus because of the reddish pores, but now know it was a Boletus edulis.

We found it in all the places we looked, mostly under or close to red fir, in various degrees of maturity. The first one I thought was an edulis, but  after I picked it, thought it was just another red-pored bolete with a reddish-brown cap. After I cut it, it saw it had white, non-bluing flesh.

The spore print was a dark reddish-brown, and the pore tubes were pink when we first ones we found.

It is a beautiful mushroom and not unpleasant to consume.
