A quick look in my newest mushroom book says it's probably Boletus subluridellus, "Edibility suspect, best avoided."
Gary Lincoff's guide says "This common bolete is probably poisonous. There are several other similarly colored boletes but they either have a netted pattern of veins on the stalk or lack the dark red hairs at the base of the stalk. Orange- to red- pored boletes occur throughout North America. None should be eaten.
