The Official Mushroom Thread

Could be something around porcini. Boletes are hard to ID down to species. Even to a genus they are hard if you don't study up on it. At the minimum, they want to at least see details on the stipe, cross section and bruising characteristics before attempting a species ID. Good news is they are mostly edible if they don't bruise blue or red. Some that bruise blue or red are edible, but you are safe if you avoid these. Some are crazy bitter but you can weed these out by doing a taste and spit test. Of the bruising ones, there none that will kill you, but some that will cause GI distress.
