Reddish brown bitter bolete

Tylopilus rubrobrunneus (Boletaceae) is a species of North American bolete, very common in some years, and seemingly absent in others. 

When young, the color of this bolete is dark-violaceus brown to chocolate, slowing changing to deep vivacious-brown, and finally a dingy cinnamon in age.

As its common name suggests, this beautiful mushroom is very bitter tasting.
