Summary: Suillus imitatus var. viridescens perhaps.

Comment: One possibilty is Suillus imitatus var. viridescens (Bessette’s North American Boletes) of which the reddish-orange cap apparently does often display “flushed olive to blackish green or dull bluish green”. It is reported from Washinton, Oregon and Idaho. However the pore staining is described as “dingy cinnamon to dull brown”. Yours looks very red but I’m assuming it fades in a short time.
