Wow, you are right, that does look like Boletus edulis! There were two smaller ones nearby too. I would love to have eaten them, but I only photograph, never take, plus I was backpacking and had nothing to put them in, but still...
Looks like Boletus edulis.
Very cool; that's one of the biggest I've seen.
