hello all,
here are a fine troop of Boletes I came across today at the local crazy golf of all places.
On the roots of Oak as far as I could tell.
Stem turned bluish when cut open, pores did not bruise.
appreciate a nod on the Id
only species I could steer myself towards is Leccinum quercinum
many thanks

Can't believe nobody is back from the pub yet. 
I reckon they're all scared-y-cats because your description of blueing throws everything out-of-sync.
The stem markings and cap colour seem to be wrong for L.quercina, and the only thing stopping me committing myself to L.scabrum is that blueing you saw.
Who else is going to have a stab at this ? 
Neil. |

L. pseudoscabrum tends to have indentations on the cap but does darken in the flesh when cut or handled, L. duriusculum tends to pink before darkening in the flesh when cut in section.

Hi Andy,
I was in Wales this weekend, but stopped off to this site on the way back into town this evening (which is on the A1 just before London) & there is actually a pretty large Poplar there (which I didn't note first time round) as well as a few young Pears & Ash on top of the Oak first mentioned.
