This is one of several aged mushrooms seen at this time of year. Like some other types of mushroom, it exudes an amber fluid that looks like maple syrup. The cause or purpose of this is unknown.
Unlike the more well-known gilled mushrooms, boletes use pores to release their spores, not gills, which gives their underside a fine, spongy appearance.
