Gymnopilus voitkiiObserver
sruffnerDescription
Found growing on conifer wood. Gills fluorescent. Spores reddish brown. Mildly bitter. Largest diameter cap is 7 cm. My first choice for this is Gymnopilus luteus. I am taking G. voitkii under advice. Both of these are thought to be east coast species. My third choice is Gymnopilus ventricosus.

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.

Is this Polyporoletus sylvestris?
Found by Maria Morrow
Under Sitka Spruce
Cap yellow-ochre-tan-brown (very difficult to described and subtle mix, also difficult to capture on camera). Pores pinkish-gray to dull tan-brownish. Stipe with chartreuse green-yellow felty surface, rather irregular. Cap and pores staining greenish, more strongly on cap. Flesh with fine dark purple dots, lilac-gray throughout.
Spores round-ellipsoid to broadly amygdaliform, smooth-walled (not as coarsely ornamented/rough as in P. sublividus). Cap center finely velvety, not coarsely scaly as in P. sublividus.
