The picture shows a fairly uncommon West Coast red pored bolete, that some mycologists call a Boletus erythropus, because of some similarities with the European species.
An East Coast species, boletus subvelutipes, also shares some similar physical characteristics.
The bottom picture shows the immediate bluing after removing an edge of the cap. The stem, a nice yellow color, turned blue when handled.
It's a nice looking mushroom. As a general rule of thumb, it is not safe to consume any bolete mushrooms with red pores.
