These very bitter stocky boletes with distinctive netting and red on stipes were common under Western Hemlock trees along the Summerland trail at Mt Rainier NP. 4600' elevation. Blue where cut. Used Michael Beug "Mushrooms of Cascadia" to ID; will dry specimen. September 2023 update: Despite the red on the stipes, the DNA matched Caloboletus conifericola.
Notes with specimen: Bright orange gills and pale stipe.
