Barrow's Bolete (Boletus barrowsii) A.k.a. White King Bolete after its pale colored cap. The cap is 5–25 cm (2–10 inches) in diameter, initially convex in shape before flattening, with a smooth or slightly tomentose surface, and gray-white, white or buff color. The thick flesh is white and does not turn blue when bruised. The pores are initially whitish, later yellow. It is an edible and highly regarded fungus in the genus Boletus that inhabits western North America. The White King Bolete is found under Ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa) inland, and Coast Live Oak (Quercus agrifolia) closer to the west coast. It was considered a color variant of the similarly edible B. edulis for many years. https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/129328-Boletus-barrowsii

"Habitat: In California Boletus barrowsii is usually associated with Oak (Quercus). Boletus barrowsii is easy to identify with the following characteristics: pale coloration, white tubes that are 'stuffed' when young, reticulated stipe, mild taste, lack of bruising reactions and typical (in California) association with Oak. It is edible and choice." https://www.mykoweb.com/CAF/species/Boletus_barrowsii.html

Boletes are fleshy mushrooms with tubes rather than gills, the tube layer usually easily separable from the cap; stipe mostly central; terrestrial, occasionally on rotting wood.

Wasn't sure what this was. I later confirmed blue-green stain on the base of the stipe and yellow gills.
