Dear All, To me it looks like *Porphyrellus porphyrosporus*. Syn. are *Porphyrellus pseudoscabe*r = *Boletus pseudoscaber* = *Boletus porphyrosporus*. These are medium to large bolete with dull brown velvety cap and stem with brown pores. They occur solitary or in small groups on soil with broad leaf trees. Odour of this sp.is sour and is edible.
