Aspecto

The Boletus has a distinctive broad, convex cap, usually brown or reddish-brown, which can feel slightly sticky when wet. Underneath, instead of gills, it has pale pores that yellow with age and bruise greenish. Its thick, pale stem often features a fine, raised net-like pattern called reticulation.
