Hypomyces chrysospermus
The bolete eater (Hypomyces chrysospermus) is a parasitic ascomycete that grows on boletes, turning them a whitish, golden yellow, or tan color. It is found in Europe and North America, as well as southwest Western Australia. Unlike the related Hypomyces lactifluorum, it is inedible
i suspect it is also "the bolete eater {hypomyces chrysospermus}" becaus, the mushroom (suspected juvenile) looks a little bit like a boletaceae and is almost complete coverd in something whitish. On the stem can you see a little dark spot, maybe it isn't yet complete cultivated or some rodent tried to take a bite.
