Fungi ID in root zone of Beech

[jacquemontii]

Can anyone ID this fungi. There are several fruiting bodies, all observed within 1m radius of the trunks of a row of beech.

I would hazard a guess at a dessicated Boletus - but would not go further to say edulis without having looked in detail.

 

Or of course I could be totally wrong!

As 10 Bears has suggested, it's a mycorrhyzal Bolete species.

 

I don't think it's B. edulus as the cap surface texture and colour looks wrong.

 

I would think that it's probably either B. impolitus or B. radicans.

 

The stem doesn't look red enough for it to be the Beech bolete (B. calopus)

 

Did it bruise blue/green on the pore surface or on the flesh of you cut it open?
