Boletus bicolor

Boletus bicolor, also known in English as the Two-colored Bolete after its two-tone coloring scheme of red and yellow, is an edible member of the Boletus family that inhabits most of eastern North America.

Description
The Two-colored Bolete has a red cap that usually ranges from about 5-15 centimeters (2-6 inches) in width, with bright yellow pores underneath and a reddish stem that is usually 5-10 cm (2-4 in) in height, and is one of several types of boletes that has the unusual reaction of bruising blue when it is injured, althoigh this takes longer than it does with other mushrooms. It is still safe for consumption, but, like with other bluing mushrooms, some people may have a minor allergic reaction after consuming this mushroom, and others recommend that it not be consumed because of its similarity to the Boletus sensibilis mushroom, which has been known to cause stomach upsets.

Distribution and Habitat
The Two-colored Bolete is distributed from southeastern Canada and the Great Lakes Region south to places such as Mississippi and Florida, and out to the eastern Midwest. It is most commonly found in Deciduous woodland and usually grows under or close to broad-leaved trees.
