Purple-red bolete is a small to medium-sized mushroom that typically grows in coniferous forests. It is recognized by its vibrant purple to reddish cap, which often exhibits a convex shape that flattens with age. The pores underneath the cap are usually yellow, turning greenish-blue when bruised. Purple-red bolete has a distinctive stem that matches the color of the cap and is often found in symbiotic association with pine trees.
