The pileus and stem are often reddish-brown or chestnut 
colored, but sometimes they are paler, inclining to tawny 
or cinnamon hues. The thin margin sometimes curves up- 
ward and then dried specimens strongly resemble those of 
Boletus Roxane. The plant has been recorded edible, but 
Gillet says it is of a moderate quality.

Pileus hemispherical, granulated, vivid red, flesh yellow, 
tubes decurrent, about one line deep, yellow; stem clavate, 
even, pale-yellow; spores pale-yellow. | 
Pileus 2 to 3 in. broad, nearly 1.5 thick. 
New England, Murray. 
On account of the color of the spores this species has 
been placed with the Cariosi. The description does not 
mention the character of the interior of the stem, and the 
decurrent tubes depart from the character of the typical 
species so that its true position is uncertain. The species 
seems well marked by the character of the pileus.
