Another Boletus ID please

[Nettle Runner]

Sherwood Forest (27 August 2007)
Found these two growing under Oak.









My first thoughts were CEP, but the colour on the stem stops well short of the cap. Also no white line at the margin of cap.

cap dia 70mm hieght 50mm
Smell only slight
No staining when cut or bruised. However, it does turn pale, dirty yellowish colour over time.

Your comments and suggestions welcomed

Looks like the Bay Bolete Boletus Badius as I think I can see some slight blue staining in the 4th pic on the pores & on the flesh around the spore tubes.

It looks like a Bay Bolete to me boletus badius

Rub the pores and see if they turn blue/green.

Also, Boletus edulis would have a raised white network over the surface of the stem, which your specimen does not.

As has been correctly suggested, this is a nice specimen of Boletus badius with all its classic features present, including the blue-green colour change to the yellow pores where they have been pressed.

Just to add that they are very good eating!
