| | | Unusual Yellow fungi
I spotted a strange yellow blob on the golf course and although the photo does not show the colour well (if I tried to get the colour it burnt out the detail) It was in fact an almost egg yellow with none of the brown that it shows in the photo. It should give an idea of what it was like. 
Fortunately I have seen it before and soon realised it was a now defunct var of Luridiformis - var discolor. 
You can just see the instant deep blue on the right where I caught the cap trying to move the grass for a photo.

Nice find Mal  I don't seem to find any of the more unusual Boletes around here. |

Mal | Why is it now a defunct var? It is still on the Basidiochecklist. Basidiomycota Checklist-Online - Species Page

Mal | I think you can safely summise from this that there is confusion surrounding this 'form' which is where I would place it. I got all excited last year upon finding a yellow luridiformis with it only to become olivaceous as it matured. Just a 'form' in my book, unless deep DNA sequencing tells me any different.
