Unidentified fungi - no gills

Found this yesterday while in the woods. My wife took the photograph but we cannot identify it.

Have shown underside hoping that will asssit in identification.

Can anyone please help.

Thank you,

Brian.

This is one of the boletes in the complex around Boletus chrysenteron. From the flush of pinkish-red in the cap colour and the strong blue staining, I think Boletus cisalpinus is the most likely candidate.

Thank you Ken for this information,

Fungi make great subjects as a quick look at Margaret's flickr page will show but identifying them is a nightmare so really appreciate your help.

Margaret the Novice will find her and then fungi set.
