    Likely Boletaceae, but that leaves many options. Posted 10 years ago

      It could be a bolete.. it also looks very much like a russula… I came up with about 20 tentative matches in the Roger's database, and this one was so young that some of the more definite characteristics may not be evident. I get the feeling this one will remain nameless.

      lol.. wrong on both accounts - neither a bolete nor a russula and I really believe this is correct :p       Posted 10 years ago, modified 10 years ago

        Nice one, glad you found a match, and I should stop pretending to know anything about fungi :) Posted 10 years ago
