Caps on stems; pores below caps [boletes & stemmed polypores]
The fungi in this group produce fruitbodies with pores on the underside of the cap. Mostly the pores are roughly circular but in some species they are elongated. In some species the pores measure a millimetre or more in diameter but in others they are almost invisible to the naked eye and you may need a magnifying glass or hand lens to confirm their presence.

This appears to be one of the red-pored Boletes, currently unidentified - and chance you were able to get a spore print and or collect for the herbarium? Great find

Next time be sure to get a clear photo of the underside as it is useful in identification. In this case, the pores are just visible on the underside of some of the ones in the background.
