I did actually catch some reticulation on the stipe this time so maybe Boletus edulis clade? Not familiar enough at all to make the ID, though. I had found one similar in all respects, but the stipe was very smooth all the way up. Taste was not bitter. I always catch them when they’re wormy, but this one was better than the others.
absolutely declicious. I know where a bunch pop up every year over in Issaquah, WA.

Always trim them until you are comfortable with the amount of worms they contain, before cooking. ;-)

Doesn’t look too bad in the cross section but it ended up being pretty wormy through the rest of it.

Bolletes tend that way, so it's better to pick them smaller, generally speaking.
