Wow, this is a cool mushroom! from the underneath, it looks like a totally different mushroom than from the top! I'll let you know if I find anything like it.

Disagree. All the sources say it is found in europe and is rare. Also the stem is much much thicker than your photo shows. I will agree however, that finding a white bolete that is red underneath is difficult

It's in the bolete family... beyond that, I'm stumped.
