Spotted Bolete
A brown-capped eastern North American bolete with whitish pores that age yellowish brown, unchanging white flesh, and a bright yellow-brown spore print that sets it apart from olive-spored boletes. It is mycorrhizal with oaks and beech. A common form, var. maculosus, has a cap spotted with whitish to pale yellow spots.
Listed as edible in a northeastern North American guide (via the MIT boletes pages); MushroomExpert gives no edibility information. The bitter Tylopilus felleus is a look-alike; it has pinkish pores, a netted stem and a pinkish spore print and spoils any dish, though it is not dangerous.
