Thank you for the suggestion! It has some similarities, but I think too many differences. My mushroom seems to have a thicker stem and the pore surface is not totally yellow or orange as with Boletellus obscurecoccineus. Additionally, I do not believe it occurs in North America.
See if this fits the description of the Rhubarb Bolete (Boletellus obscurecoccineus).
