I have to say, those are incredibly beautiful specimens. Do you know what species that is off hand?
Could be a neoboletus luridiformis with an unusually slim stem. In any case, I would say the color saturation in this picture is cranked up quite a bit.
Also, as a general point, it is a myth that bruising blue always indicates the presence of psilocybin. For instance, many boletes bruise blue and don't contain any psilocybin.
Here's a picture of an intensely blue staining bolete that does not have psilocybin:
