Satan's bolete

Rubroboletus eastwoodiae

A species of Rubroboletus. Also known as Devils mushroom.

The satan's bolete, characterized by its squat, rounded red fruitbody, ranks among the most toxic mushrooms within the Boletes family – a fact readily apparent from its common English designation. While two distinct species bear this striking name, the European Boletus satanas is a different entity altogether from the Rubroboletus eastwoodiae being discussed.
