Moldy Bolete - Boletaceae

I thought this moldy mushroom was really gorgeous! All I could determine was that the mushroom had pores and yellow flesh. I have no idea what the ID is of the mushroom or the mold. The cap was about 9 cm in diameter.

Habitat: Rotting on the ground in a deciduous forest. There were lots of oak and birch trees in the area.

Incredible, there's so much to gaze at wondering what you're looking at. Fascinating. Posted 6 years ago

  Definitely! One thing I found interesting about this mushroom was that there weren't many fruit flies on it - only a couple. Usually, rotting mushrooms are covered in flies. This one seemed unpalatable for some reason, maybe the type of bacteria were toxic or else just yucky. Posted 6 years ago
