Deformed Bolete? Not sure what is going on with this bolete. The beginnings of bolete mold? Or was it deformed to begin with? Found on a mixed forest trail.

      I thought so too! That tube layer is just all over the place. The pore structure reminded me more of the pilei of mushrooms of the genus Strobilomyces, so my brain was like WHATTT?! Posted 6 years ago

        Exactly what I was thinking! Before realizing where the pores were, I thought it looked like Strobilomyces as well. Posted 6 years ago

          Someone on MO IDed it as such, but I don't think they are very experienced with the genus. XD Posted 6 years ago
