It looks like a bolete I picked in Rodessa but I never positively identified it.
There may be members who can identify this. I know about a dozen in my area esp. asking how quickly it stains blue.
This is a Boletus. it is not possible to ID this without examining the spores under magnification. Many Boletes flash blue on their flesh, in this case (flashing blue) it is to be avoided for consumption. There are numerous species of Boletus in the US.
