It is a "bolete" but it is not in the genus Boletus. Maybe a Suillus species. There's no way to get a positive ID without seeing the entire mushroom though.
the pores under the cap says its a bolete mushroom
The Illinois natural history survey listed the following species
Boletus castaneus
Boletus curtisii
Boletus frostii
Boletus glabellus
Boletus miniato-olivaceus
Boletus peckii
Boletus rubellus
Boletus rubropunctus
Boletus separans
Boletus subsanguineus
Strobilomyces floccopus
also, look for the color of the stipe or stem, not in the picture, plus if the mushroom bruises a blue color when you touch it. They will all help with a more detailed id
