Frost's Bolete - Butyriboletus frostii Sadly, this mushroom was past its prime, but it was my first time finding frost&#039;s bolete, so I was super excited!<br />
<br />
The cap was very sticky, blood red in color, and nearly flat. The pores were red, flesh was yellow, and the stipe was webbed. The flesh and pores bruised blue.<br />

Previously known as Exsudoporus frostii. This bolete fungus is easily identified by its sticky red cap, dark bluing reaction, and golden exudate droplets.
