Hi all you fun guys out there, here is todays find I need some help with please, found under oak in mixed woodland, on calcareous soil, stem around 30mm x 70mm, cap about 40mm across.....    
The last one here was taken as soon as I cut the stem, and the cap flesh appeared to be intially redish to me before quickly turning darker blueish.
Also there seems to be signs of the stem having been red near the base and more yellow at the top, however most of it has been munched so it is hard to tell, I am thinking b. luridiformis but perhaps a little early, or b. luridus. Spore print in process....
Thanks for your help, Stewart |

you can just make out the reticulations on the stipe so your second suggestion of B luridus is right.

Yes luridus but I see Mal beat me to it Boletes seem to be coming earlier and earlier each year and July and August is no longer surprising - not to me anyway! Maybe the extreme dryness early in the year and now the wettest July for ages will accelerate them even more? Nice find and always lovely to watch that colour change

Pauline | Thanks for your comments Pauline, it was a lucky find which my wife spotted, it is was alomst invisible amoungst the leaf litter.....
And everything seems to be early, I have a spot where agaricus augustus appear every year, and they have already been and gone, but in my books they are listed as late summer/autumn. |

Perhaps a Craterellus cornucopioides, with a French accent. Felicitations! |

I'm none too sure if Penny Bun Hunter is tuned into the right channel even - perhaps he should try the cake shop.

Pauline | re Boletes being early this year, i spotted a tweet on twitter recently, that said B.luridiformis had been found on May 19th (this year)
