Scarletina bolete (Boletus luridiformis)

Athamanion, Epirus

Boletus ludiriformis formally known as Boletus erythropus is part of the Boletaceae family. Its common name is Scarletina bolete. The stems are yellowish-green but when it is cut it becomes blue. It can be eaten only after cooking otherwise it can cause gastric disturbances, but it my opinion it is not very tasty...
