Caps on stems; pores below caps [boletes & stemmed polypores]
The fungi in this group produce fruitbodies with pores on the underside of the cap. Mostly the pores are roughly circular but in some species they are elongated. In some species the pores measure a millimetre or more in diameter but in others they are almost invisible to the naked eye and you may need a magnifying glass or hand lens to confirm their presence.

There are at least 4 Boletellus species which appear similar, however they require further examination to determine species
Boletellus sp. (genus)

@ Clarel this is certainly a fascinating topic and the boletes are really out on their own, They have some magnificent colour changes due to bruising or when we cut them, sometimes it can take up-to five minutes before the changes become apparent in some species, while in others its instant.

Hi Teresa, thanks for all the moderation, yes, I only recall one specimen. I’ll have to learn about fungi features. Currently I’m enthralled by the surprising colours and shapes, so can’t note anything other that what shows up in the photos.

No, I didn't want to disturb/touch it (first time I've seen this type). Yes, it might be something parasitic - it was not "fungal material" - more like a frothy mold or mildew
Bolete sp.
