Hi all
I hope you like this picture as much as I do, this little fellow was about 12mm high, hence ID is tentative but it was growing in amongst a great many Bay Boletes.
Cheers

Did this one have pores? Sorry if it seems like an obvious question.

Fungalpunk Dave | Too young to have pores, and too tiny to check without picking.

If it is a Bolete, the pores will be there alright, but there ain't much point in picking it just to prove it, so you're right to leave it alone to grow into a man !

Neil. | The pores in immature specimens might be present but they aren't really developed into what are recognisable as pores in mature specimens. I was examining the pores of quite a few badius and edulis pores over the weekend (x 6 hand lens I think) to see if I could spot the difference in pore shape ( badius are angular and edulis are circular) and even specimens with caps >50mm do not have sufficiently developed pores to see a difference. This one was about 16mm across the cap. I'll see what he's like next weekend!

Went back to see this and it had been upturned to reveal gills, and was still less than 30 mm tall. So definitely not a bay bolete, sorry for the misidentification.

Possibly a young Collybia butyracea ? , looks very similar to the ones i have been finding lately, the darker than usual colours possibly due to being waterlogged with all the rain we've had lately ??
