Iodine bolete (Hemileccinum impolitum)
This chunky boy can be recognised by their bright yellow pores which, along with their flesh, do not immediately change colour when cut (although they may take on a pink or blue tinge after a an hour or so), and their chemical-ey smell, reminiscent of iodine.
They are edible but not sought after. I ate this one - it was mildly unpleasant!
