Found this rather nice specimen yesterday. Going through the books, I suspect it's a lurid bolete, though I'm not sure. Can anyone confirm?

No spore print as there was only the one coming up.



 
Could well be - if it bruises blue then I'd say 'more likely yes'.

Also want to check for a red line between the cap and the pores when cut open - as in, between the top of the pores and the flesh immediately above it. I can't see one in the photo. Check against Oldrose Bolete because those are toxic.

Cheers. If I see some more come up I'll have a look for that red line and check how it bruises. Couldn't quite bring myself to disturb this one.
