I dislodged this toadstool this afternoon in my back garden from memory I Don,t recall seeing this species before it had a sulphurous yellow colour as you can perhaps see from the photo,s and where there should have been a dome on the cap of the toadstool it was flat and coloured brown as you can see again from the picture I,ve looked for this toadstool but can only find ochre brittlegill can anyone Identify or put a name to this species for me please.

It's a type of boletus as it has pores on the underside rather than gills. That's a close as i can get.
thanks Dave I thought it somewhat deformed for a toadstool but now with this Information you gave me I looked up on line and Sepia Bolete (Boletus Porosporus) seems to fit with my fungi and what a strange one it is when it has full grown very dull looking apparently dull is one of its nick names...
 
Hi all,

Xerocomus (=Boletus) porosporus isn't a bad bet, but I wouldn't necessarily rule out other species (e.g X.cisalpinus, X.pruinatus etc).

Cheers,
Nick

Hi Nick, thanks for that I,m now thinking between porosporus and cisalpinus personally Interesting fungi to say the least when a electron microscope is needed to Identify the cellular structure of the pores.
