The cap doesn't look right for B. torosus. It's easy to tell if you've got B. torosus (well, it could be one of 3 but NOT B. Satanas) is that if you touch the cap, you haven't got to be heavy handed, the part that you've touched quickly turns blue. It's quite striking and immediatedly makes you realise you've got something unusual. Duane, did you notice if the cap turned blue when you touched it?
Also, B. torosus will immediately turn blue when cut. B. Satanas will take a little longer.
I posted the pictures on WildAboutBritain. There are many experts on here, including some European Bolete experts. You can see the post here:
https://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums/fungi-forums/74385-unidentified-bolete.html
The consensus (at the time I posted this) is that it is B. Satanas. However, the real Bolete experts have not responded so far. Maybe it's not exciting enough?
There are some handy YouTube videos which may help:
Boletus Satanas:

Boletus luteocupréus = (B. torosus)

If you want a real headache have a look at:
https://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/forums/fungi-forums/57739-new-forest-finds-and-2-boletes.html
I posted this last year. It's my second example that created the stir. One expert (mollisia/Andreas) was convincec that it was B. torosus. He says "Boletus torosus for sure!". Another, Alan Hills, thinks it's a rhodopurpureus. Confused? Well I am and it goes to show that even the experts can find it difficult to id from a photo. |
