| More Mushroom Resources Bolete Mushrooms Types of Mushrooms |
The Admirable Bolete (Boletus mirabilis) has a red cap and stem contrasting with its yellow pores.
Unlike most other boletes which grow on the ground, the top picture shows it growing on a dead log. They often grow in association with Western Hemlock or other conifers.
They are reported to be an edible species. Use common sense. If you're not an expert, let it be.
