Notes: Pale, medium-sized pores, what may be dark scabers on the stipe, and a slightly scaly cap make this an odd bolete. Its small size, too: only about 2 and a bit cm wide. It was found under a baby balsam fir in Zone 02, literally enclosed by the fir’s branches. The fir in question being only a foot tall and half that wide.

Something suggests Leccinum to me; something else Tylopilus. I don’t feel especially confident it’s either.
