| | | Boletus albidus?
Pretty sure these are Boletus albidus...
There must have been 40 - 50 specimens in perfect condition.
Near some very old oak trees.
Interestingly i have found St Georges and Fairy Ring Champignons in the same patch of ground this year.    |

could well be - it's known as Boletus radicans now - Persoon's name has priority over Roques'
cheers
Chris

Andy | Hi Andy, these from the Oak we spoke about.
radicans I presume.
If you haven't already, take a look around the otherside of the trunk, there's another Bolete species popping up. Perhaps same as the shots I showed you (although time seems out)     |

Hi Dave,
Yes this is B. radicans. However, the interesting thing here, is that the pics you showed me, that you had taken some years earlier from the same spot were of B. erythropus or as some may like to call it B. luridiformis. I'll have a look on the other side of the tree maybe those are luridiformis?
Best

Andy | Hi Andy,
here are the shots from a couple of years back (for others to see) & also a shot of the developing one in the same spot from yesterday (last shot)
There also appears to be a Russula (?) appearing at the base of the trunk next to this. (not shown)
regards

The last photo is I think B erythropus var discolor.

Mal | I don't think so Mal. I've found these immature, yellowish, erythropus myself where as they mature, become the normal brown colour. I can see from Monkeyd's previous shots that they start out yellow and then quickly take on the familiar brown appearance.
Interesting though Dave that the two species are associating with the same tree and that Russula are in on the act also. Just gives you a snippet of the competition that is going on between species there.
