I think these are Tylopilus badiceps. I found several of the growing on the side of a little dirt road, in a shady area under mature oaks and mixed woods. In the light where I first saw them, the caps looked burgundy or red/black velvet. They seemed to taste and smell like King Boletes. Do these look like Tylopilus badiceps?
