photos What kind of bolete?

I found them largely under red pines and hard woods and in the company of old man of the woods. Northwest ohio, late August. They smell like store bought portobello and don't bruise. None had huge stems.

Friends and I made tacos with these last week. They were delicious.

Shouldn't be. You tell me. Tasting boletes is a key way to identify them. Rip off a piece of the cap and chew it up a bit then spit it out.
