Is the stem really that white? I'm no guru, could it be Boletus campestris (edible) I could find anything in my references with that red of a top and white stem. C

Yes the stem is pure white.Wish they wouldn't have cancelled the mushroom class in July.

Looks sort of like a russula. Some are edible, some are not, but i don't think they're anything prized. This one isn't edible, btw, from what the link says.

Here is a link that might be useful: Russula silvicola

Thanx that's good to know. I'm too young to die altho at 73 some people mite think otherwise. LOL
