    How do you ID these boletes? I really struggle with the ones that look like this. Do rely on the chemical analyses? Posted 6 years ago

      I put it through the Bolete filter to see what it comes up with. It isn't always accurate, so I often rely on the chemical analysis/staining pattern paired with online descriptions as well.

      I have a suggestion for Boletus patrioticus on this one too, but the chemical reactions don't match up on that one. So hmm..       Posted 6 years ago

          It is pretty neat!

          And, of course, the Boletes of North America group is invaluable.           Posted 6 years ago
