Boletus barrowsii

Olympic Peninsula, Washington

White King Bolete
This distinctive species can have caps to 6 inches or more and stipes typically shorter but up to 5 inches. The caps are convex or plane, white, dry and smooth. The pore surface starts white but changes with time to yellow or greenish yellow. The fungus does not bruise. The stipes are equal or clavate, and finely netted towards the apex. It is usually found under coast live oak or ponderosa pine, but sometimes under spruce as in this case. It is considered a choice edible, closely related to Boletus edulis.
