Bolete sp.

Bolete sp.
This is one of the fungi we came across on 24 August 2013, when a small group of us went on a Fungus Foray at West Bragg Creek, Kananaskis, W of Calgary. This was one of the very few times I got out this summer/fall to look for fungi. Hoping that next year will be a better year as far as finding mushrooms is concerned : )

Thanks to Ken Dies for the ID, Suillus tomentosus. Another ID suggestion was Boletus subtomentosus, given by Karel Bergmann of Calgary, who examined this particular specimen in the field.

A useful article on identifying the various Boletes in Alberta:
