New Species - Scarletina Bolete
There is very little fruiting of fungi - none in the fields since mid June - so it was nice to come across a group of Boletes under a Beech Tree. I was able to identify them from and one particular characteristic is that the bright yellow tubes turn immediately bright blue when cut. It is quite spectacular and when you add the striking brown cap colour and the deep red pores, it is a dazzling fungus. It is a new species for The Beeches although I did see it last year on a neighbour's lawn.
