A lurid bolete

I got some help from the folk on the British Mycological Society Facebook page in order to identify this bolete I found at Woods Mill on Saturday, growing in a scrubby area at the edge of Hoe Wood.

Cap is yellow-y brown; discolouring red where it's been damaged.

Tubes remain whole when split. And there's a distinct red line above the pores: this is significant!

As with many bolete mushrooms, the flesh turns (slightly) blue when cut and the pores turn deep blue when bruised.

The stem is covered in a coarse and elongate network pattern.

I'm grateful to Slavko Pavlović, Antony Burnham and Geoffrey Kibby for explaining that these features – particularly the coarse network on the stem and that red line – make this mushroom a Lurid Bolete Suillellus luridus.
