Some people also nickname Boletus chrysenteron the red-cracked bolete because of the red stains that appear on the cracks of the cap as it matures.
The picture shows some evidence of red staining in the cracks on the lower portion of the cap, suggesting B. chrysenteron. However, a definitive identification is not possible without a miscropic examination of the spores.
Pores of both species are known to bruise blue fairly easy, and this specimen was found in a group of similar species with bruises.
