Difficult to say what it might be. I've seen the pores of Leccinum scabrum do this- the trouble is, I can't see the stem well enough to gather characteristics of L. scabrum. Probably is that though, but can't be sure  |

Also check Porphyrellus porphyrosporus, as far as I can see there is nothing to exclude it from the info you give. |

It's much more likely to Be Boletus Badius if Porphyrellus porphyrosporus is being mentioned. They're very similar with the exception that Porphyrellus porphyrosporus has a faint purply tinge to its stem and its cap. Plus, P. porphyrosporus is rare. I'm not saying it's not it, but I've never seen it, nor heard of anyone that has. I'm not sure that Porphyrellus porphyrosporus still a synonym either, not a clue!  What other species are in the Porphyrellus genus or is it another oddball?
I still think it's probably Leccinum scabrum

What other species are in the Porphyrellus genus or is it another oddball? | For England it is the only Porphyrellus (see Basidiomycota Checklist-Online - Country Species List ) but there are about 40 internationally (see Porphyrellus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia ) I only suggested it because I found a matching photo in my archive and couldn't exclude it.
I think your probably right about Leccinum scabrum but like you I just can't see enough of the stem detail to be sure  |

I hope oxycera doesn't mind but I've altered the background information to give a little more detail to the stem / pores 
It looks a bit past it to me.

Did you up the saturation FJ? It looks way more red- couldn't that throw off the possibility of an ID? |

A cross section would have been useful.

Aha, maybe it's bringing out red. Odd! A cross section would've been ideal, you're right.
Get back down there Oxy!  | | | |
