A Bolete species

A Bolete species (Xerocomellus Bolete)

I found this fungus growing along the towpath and posted it in the Fungus forum for ID.

Unfortunately I would have needed to cut it in half and get pictures of the underneath etc. to be sure of a definitive ID.

This was the closest they could get to.
