The Red-Cracked Bolete (Boletus chrysenteron) is reported to appear in deciduous forests of the Canadian and Riparian zones in the southwest. I have not yet encountered it but it is regularly reported from forays in New Mexico. While it is considered to be edible it is certainly not highly prized or considered to be choice.

THE MANDATORY DISCLAIMER
On mycophagy:
There is a saying in German that translates roughly as "All mushrooms are edible, but some kinds only once." Put another way, there are old mushroom hunters and there are bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old bold mushroom hunters.
Don't overdo it. Most adverse reactions I have had to wild mushrooms have usually been tied to over-consumption. Most of all, if you aren't absolutely sure what it is, it is generally wiser not to eat it. When in doubt throw it out.
Boletus chrysenteron is not highly prized as an edible.
