Just a quick post on a bolete I found today under an Oak tree a few steps up the street from our house. This one may be Xanthoconium separans or possibly Boletus variipes. This is actually the first time I found a bolete in May in my neck of the woods, in fact I can’t recall seeing a king bolete type look-alike in June either. You don’t have to go anywhere to be amazed these days.
This is a little more seasonal and edible as I’m well away from the toxins of the street and the mushroom’s identity is certain, above and below are 2 photos of Dryad’s saddle which I am adding to my wild edible mushroom page tonight.
Here you can notice the pore surface under the cap if you click on the photo. ciao for now

Great captures.
I’ve never seen a mushroom with pores like that before. Great pictures!
Thanks Isaac, The Dryad’s saddle is a very large and quite common wild mushroom east of the Rockies, but I see no mention of it farther west. The smooth under surface is like a crisp leather.
