Boletes

[Zuma]

We are all out in the woods this time of year.
These are pretty good mushrooms for the beginner.
Of course Morels and Puff Balls are good to.
A good place to find Boletes is under pine trees.
Never eat wild plants unless you have done every thing
possible to make sure you are correct in your selection.
Web search, books, and best of all, others that have
munched on them.  Here are some from my area in N. Virginia.
All contributions welcomed.

Thanks Glis If you look you may see a lot of the stem has been eaten?
They may be neither Porcini or Leccinum Aurantiacum.
The literature is pretty confusing and even controversial.
Agree edible, since something took a few chomps out of it

The site below says the Leccinum is not in N America.
Other sites say it might be. If you read the link you will
see how things are pretty messed up and ident is difficult
I can't find my other Porcini photos from another location.
Hope it rains soon.

Yes some snails eated well
Even tough it's not a true porcino I have collected them many times and after discarding the stem dried along with true porcini. They mix very well in the pot

Thanks Glis,
Since I read the rules I think we should take shrooms to the
Campfire forum. (archery related)
Without links a mushroom discussion would be pretty moot
also.
