First off I could not get near these, on extremely steep drop down into burn, beneath beech, in moss on rock/peat and I was on other side of burn. The cap where eaten seemed to have a tinge of blue, what I can see of the pores are yellow (this picked up with zoomed photo) seen from a distance the red stem seemed to be almost smooth. The cap was about the size of a tea cup's saucer, though there were others that were almost small plate size.  IMG_4868 by Wabi Gallery, on Flickr |

Hi Nelly
You have Boletus satanus. Great find, not one I have found.

Thank you flaxton. It is the first time I have seen them. They are on a bank that runs down into the burn that runs down to our lower ground. Up till now along the flatish top of the banks there has always been chanterelles, russula and a variety of other boletus and Lactarius. First off I am a bit puzzled by the Boletus stanus about 15 of them have appeared and nothing else as yet. Wondering if it is something to do with the adverse weather we have had this year and maybe the spores were carried from up in the forests by the deluge of water, which is why they are on the side banks of the burn as it were.
