Boletus Edulis and an other??

[NickCantle]

Stipe reticulation is a key factor in the identification of some Boletes. B. edulis exhibits a stem network that you can see. Sort of like a spider web of lines wrapped around the stem. In species B. luridus and B. luridiformis, knowing this information can immediately separate the two, the former having often dark reticulations and the latter having a smooth appearance.

Hope that helps.
