Bolete from Little Stones (ID please)

Hello Les,

I still have no doubts about it being Boletus reticulatus/aestivalis.
When cutting the young fruitbody, did the flesh in the stem base TURN yellow, or WAS IT already yellow? Chrome yellow spots or areas in the stipe flesh are not too unusual in ceps, especially at the base.

best regards,
Andreas

Hi Andreas

It was already yellow at the base. See image:
