Curry Bolete Mushroom

Boletus sensibilis

This mushroom is about two inches tall and looked potentially unstable. There was a tiny fleck of wood on the cap, and I picked up a leaf and used the leaf's petiole to gently nudge the wood. This shot is a minute and eight seconds after the shot with the wood in place, and the cap already has a dark bruise where I dragged the petiole.

I might be a bit leery harvesting this mushroom for the skillet !
