Boletus ornatipes 1
This is a very common mushroom in my woods. It can be found at all elevations from the top of the ridge to almost the creek bed. It is found on the South, West and North facing slopes. Some people say it is an edible mushroom. The ones I have tried around here are very bitter and the taste stays with you for a long time. Unpleasant. I have noticed them from mid summer through fall.

I was looking forward to finding the reason why boletes stain different colours and what the chemicals responsible for that colour change were when I saw your headline ‘Everything about boletes’. Unfortunately, I cannot find this information on your website.
