I have never heard of any poisonous boletes either.

Boletus Satanas (AKA - "The Devil's Bolete") is one of the most common poisonous mushrooms in my part of Europe.

Thanks, I had never heard of that one. Possibly because the Rocky Mountains are a fair distance from Europe. I did find that the Red-mouth Bolete of North America (the only ones I'm worried about) is listed as poisonous. There are a couple of others listed as unpalatable. The ones I know from this area are 'choice.'

Red-mouth Bolete (Boletus subvelutipes)

Looks like there isn't much danger of The Devil's Bolete being eaten.
