That’s impressive! It’s edible, I presume?

My ‘skills’ extend only to puffballs, morels, and what you buy at a grocery store. Also, I can damage the mushroom stock at a good steakhouse.

The king bolete is considered to be one of the best edible mushrooms. At first glance they're similar to the suillus family which are all edible but very bland tasting. Iirc, there is one species in the boletus family which has red pores that is poisonous but I don't recall the name. The boletus are subject to getting larvae in them but unless they are completely filled I've just dehydrated them (killing the larvae) and use them for soups and sauces. All of our flour contains a small amount of bug parts, but we don't think about it.
