Two-colored Bolete - Baorangia bicolor
The cap was huge...maybe 14-15 cm in diameter. Pores were yellow and bruised cyan. The apex of the stipe was not yellow, which is making me question the ID.
Habitat: Growing under the base of a tree, which was situated on a hill in a dense, mesic forest.
The two-colored bolete, named after its two-tone coloring scheme of red and yellow, is an edible fungus in the genus "Baorangia". It inhabits most of eastern North America, primarily east of the Rocky Mountains and in season during the summer and fall months but can be found across the globe in China and Nepal.
