Marie writes: Another Interesting find. I believe to be "Ravenel's Bolete," also known as "Powdery Sulphur Bolete." Tells: Powdery yellow cap ages red from center out. Yellow pores age to grayish brown & stain greenish-blue, resolving to greenish-brown.
Other Information: Cap may crack or wrinkle w/age. Pale cap flesh slowly blues, resolving to dingy yellow & then pale brown. Bright yellow stem may have a ring from membrane that covered young pores. As always with fungus it's a guess. More at wikipedia.org. Comments | Permalink
