TIL mushrooms can be "don't eat me" colored on the inside
It oxidized and darkened before i got my gloves off to take a pic (i'm so mushroom paranoid i don't even want to touch it lol) but it was basically a color id describe as "yellowed cyanosis"
I certainly don't want to eat something that has the exact color and texture of old sofa padding
It looked more like when you have a blue memory foam mattress pad but then it starts to yellow and turn "too much b vitamin" piss colored
Even if it wasn't lookin like that though im not eating a wild mushroom, you might have heard me say this before but i don't want to poop out my kidneys and liver
If anyone knows what kinda mushroom this is hit me with your mushroom facts
Bolete of some kind. Most likely non-poisonous, but even if it was an edible mushroom it looks a little past its prime.
I am bad with Boletes, but the cap looks too dark for boleteus cyanescens imo, but again, i suck ass at identifying boletes try r/mycology or r/mushroomid for more.
Also, country of origin may help. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful :(
Most of the pics on google look different but this first pic on reddit is a very similar color, but the gills weren't that sorta yellow on mine and didn't stain like that without breaking it open
Some of the pics labeled cornflower bolete look kinda similar
I would never eat a wild mushroom but i did hold it over a flame and it smelled delicious not sure if that helps

Oh it's fine im just shitposting anyway, any mushroom facts are better than none
It's from southeastern U.S
Maybe it's a Hickory Bolete?
