Two-colored Bolete - Baorangia bicolor
Soft, velvety red cap, yellow pores, and a sticky, red stipe. The cap surface and pores bruised blue when handled. There were dozens of these mushrooms growing in the woods - they ranged in size from tiny buttons to huge caps larger than the length of my hand (14 cm)!
**Confession - I placed the charred wood in back of this mushroom to make the photo less busy.
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.
