Lede

Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Lead section, the lede of this article stands alone as a concise overview and summary of the article. The lede defines the fungus, establishes context for the fungus, explains why the fungus is notable, and summarizes the most important points of the fungus.
The image of the fruit bodies of the bolete fungus is licensed CC BY-SA 3.0 and is therefore eligible for usage here.
The info box is beautifully formatted and its content is cited within the prose and within the template.
The lede is well-written, its contents are cited below within the text, the references are verifiable, and I have no further comments or suggestions for this section.
Taxonomy

Wiki-link Mycology for mycologist for those of us unfamiliar with this branch of biology.
Done. Sasata (talk) 18:23, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
Wiki-link and type as Port Jefferson, New York instead.
Done. Sasata (talk) 18:23, 22 February 2015 (UTC)
Per Wikipedia:Inline citation, it is suggested that inline citations should be consolidated at the end of sentences and paragraphs, and not within. But of course, this is not a deal breaker, and is merely a suggestion.
I like to ensure that the material is more readily verifiable by having the citation close to the information, per WP:CITEDENSE: "Some sections (e.g., dense technical subjects) may even require more than one inline citation per sentence." Sasata (talk) 18:23, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

It is mentioned in this section that this fungus does not turn blue when bruised; is this common when this type of fungus is bruised? If so, this should be mentioned and cited.
Added "Unlike many other boletes," to indicate that the bluing color change is not uncommon. Sasata (talk) 18:23, 22 February 2015 (UTC)

Costa Rica is mentioned earlier in the "Similar species" subsection and should therefore be wiki-linked there.
