Aureoboletus flaviporus, commonly known as the viscid bolete, is a species of bolete fungus. From 1905 until 2010, its binomial name was Boletus flaviporus.[2]

The cap is sticky-slimy, the pores are neon yellow, and this flesh of this bolete does not stain blue when it is cut or torn.[3] The taste is said to be "acidic-lemony".[4]

It is found in western North America, where it grows in ectomycorrhizal association with coast live oak, madrone, manzanita,[3] and possibly with tanoak.[4] In California, this mushroom appears during the rainy season in locations south of Mendocino County.[4] This mushroom is "fairly common" but does not appear in large groupings, only as one-offs or small clusters in scattered locations.[3]

The quality of the edible mushroom has been described as mediocre[3] because of a combination of poor flavor and texture.[4]
