Yellow-foot
chromapes [chrom - (L: pigmented) + pes - (L: foot)] is the defining feature of this mushroom. The common names are "yellow-foot" or "chrome-foot", which is an almost literal translation from the Latin epithet.
Rose-colored cap
This unassuming rosy cap usually sits higher than some other Boletes, with its 'foot' hidden below the forest detris. The pink-cap will fade to light brown with age.

The stipe
When pulled up, the cream-colored pores and rosy scabers may be the first things noticed if that bright yellow-foot is damaged or broken.

Like many boletes, the color of the mycelium is important and Harrya chromapes is no different, with vivid yellow mycelium extending from the foot into the surrounding substrate.

Harrya isn't as picky as many other boletes and is happy to form mycorrhizal relationships with hardwoods or conifers. These are often found growing alone.
