Pushing up through the mosses

We saw a number of these Bolete fungi at West Bragg Creek, Kananaskis, on 24 August 2013, when a small group of us went on a Fungi Foray for the day. This was a rather nice, young one, surrounded by beautiful moss. I was so thankful for this outing, as I was only out looking for mushrooms on a handful of days this year. I believe the ID for this mushroom is Leccinum insigne (Aspen Bolete), but this is only a tentative species ID as many of the Leccinum species can only be differentiated microscopically.
