• Boletes
unknown - Mystery Boletes

Many boletes are hard to ID in the field!

• Boletus
edulis - Cep, Porcini, Penny Bun

The prized Cep. Stunning! I reckon you could smash a window if you threw this hard enough, it's so monumentally huge. You've got to beat the slugs to it if you want to eat them though!

• Caloboletus
radicans - Rooting Bolete.

Huge, blue-staning, yellow-pored boletes that pop up in big groups, almost any time of year in my experience! A fine artistic opportunity.

• Pseudoboletus
parasiticus - Parasitic Bolete

Huge, blue-staning, yellow-pored boletes that pop up in big groups, almost any time of year in my experience! A fine artistic opportunity.

• Suillellus
queleti - Deceiving Bolete

So called deceiving because no two ever look the same - and I can vouch for that! These pop up in almost any shape or size. Their flesh and pores very quickly turn a dramatic, deep prussian-blue when damaged.

• Suillus
luteus - Slippery Jack

In the right places, you'll be struggling to take a step without standing on some of these things. They pop up almost everywhere, and in high numbers!

• Xerocomellus
chrysenteron - Red-Cracking Bolete

A very moody looking bolete! I think they're very aesthetic.
