Neoboletus luridiformis, also previously known as Boletus luridiformis and (invalidly) as Boletus erythropus, is a fungus of the bolete family, all of which produce mushrooms with tubes and pores beneath their caps. It is commonly known as the scarletina bolete, for its red pores, which are yellow when young. Other common names include the red foot bolete, dotted stemmed bolete, or dotted stem bolete.
It is found in Northern Europe and North America. While edible when cooked properly, it can cause vomiting and diarrhea if not. Where the two species coincide, it can be confused with species such as Rubroboletus satanas.
