I think your ID is right, so many of these things it is always difficult, I'm in agreement with David here, plus it looks like you could have done with a reflector to put a touch more light on the underside, Given that you used a 17-40 I might have prefered a wider angle view showing the habitat (you probably have those as well)
Still a nice shot and one I enjoyed viewing

I like the composition but I think it needs more light underneath.

This is definately not an Edulis. They have a white network on the stipe, not a red one. Also the cap is very flattened for edulis. Not sure what it is though, boletes are surprisingly difficult, it might be a bitter birch...

4 repliesGood view point - minor nits a tad tight in the frame and I would try and tone down the highlights, that said I like it!
