Definitely not a Boletellus sp. Looks more like a species of Kgaria.

Genus Kagaria appears to not currently be on species list.

@Pam thanks, I was unaware of this genus, which I've now read up on, and I agree.

I've featured this sighting, as it is a first record for a genus which is only just recently described. Excellent work, @HelenCross, I've learned something cool today thanks to your sighting! :)

Thanks everyone, I've definitely learnt something! I've also edited the location - one photo had the correct location while the other one had the location down in suburban Banks! And there were 2 fruiting bodies that I saw - such an rusty colour on top and that interesting underside!
