Boletus lignumcircumdatos. Quite rare to see it looking so fresh this time of year, but it's been a mild winter. It has established a symbiotic relationship with the logging industry and is found principally in clearcuts. Very slow to deliquesce, edible but woody, recommend in thin slices as a garnish in fish dishes.

It looks like Pseudotsuga menziesii to me. I'll wait until the logger's skill advances to wooden bears before I contemplate picking one.
