Boletus pulcherrimus

Boletus pulcherrimus (formerly B. eastwoodiae) is a large imposing red-pored bolete from Western North America. To date it is the only bolete that has been implicated in the death of someone consuming it; a couple developed gastrointestinal symptoms in 1994 after eating this fungus with the husband succumbing. Autopsy revealed infarction of the midgut.
