Scarletina Bolete
I last recorded this very colourful Bolete three years ago almost to the day. It was under Beech in the West Field. The colours are superb - a deep red/brown cap that brusies blue/black, a stipe that is scarlet flocules on a yellow ground, deep orange/red pores with yellow tubes above and yellow flesh that blues instantly when cut. There seems to be some uncertainty about nomenclature but I will follow Index Fungorum as usual and list it as Neoboletus luridiformis (Scarletina Bolete).
