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!
Huge, blue-staning, yellow-pored boletes that pop up in big groups, almost any time of year in my experience! A fine artistic opportunity.
These are often very hard to miss! Quite readily identified by their "scabby" stipes.
Now this is a cool one - these fungi are parasites on earthballs! I've never seen anything like it before or since.
So called deceiving because no two ever look the same! These pop up in almost any shape or size. Their flesh and pores very quickly turn a dramatic, deep prussian-blue when damaged.
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!
A very moody looking bolete! I think they're very aesthetic.
