I think Xerocomellus is a better bet, could be Xerocomellus zelleri.
Jae,looks like "Boletus bicolor"

Found in the Eastern side though!!
Randy Thanks for the comment! :)
Mushrooms are just fruits, by picking one you are not harming the living mycelium below the ground. :)
:-)
Jae you have inclined me to believe that it is a Bolete!! Thnx!
thnx guys! Right now I am in Buddhism mode where I do not harm any wild life.
Akward mix of science and Buddhism!
Nice finding Hema,i agreed with Jae,in these cases a vertical cute,is very elpfull in the id,some boletes are only diferent in the inside collour of the "meat"
I think it's a bolete mushroom, Hema.
Perhaps Boletus cisalpinus or Xerocomellus chrysenteron.
