This bolete has a dull yellow-green to olive, convex to flat cap 1-/5/8 to 8 inches across that's sticky when wet. The flesh and tubes (which are attached to the stalk) are bright yellow, as are the pores, which stain orange-brown. The spore print is olive-brown
The yellowish stalk, covered with a network or darker ridges, is 3-1/4 to 6 inches long, 3/8 to 1-3/8 inches thick.
Note the deep reticulation (netting) on the stalks

Look for it from the middle of the summer until the beginning of fall under oaks and beeches in Eastern North America.
Listed in field guides as mediocre, I find it quite good.
