firthy 54 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 hi there recently been getting quite interested in edible wild mushrooms if you have any info on whats edible and whats poisoness then let me hear it and see some pics if possible. Today i found a few boletes but im unsure on what they exactly are if you know or have some idea let me know. this one was quite large and there was around 30 or more the same size. http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/firthy_bucket/photo2-1.jpg http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/firthy_bucket/photo3-1.jpg http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/firthy_bucket/photo4-1.jpg these 2 were in a small woodland consisting of mainly oak http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/firthy_bucket/photo1.jpg http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/firthy_bucket/photo2.jpg this one was found in the same woods but looks slightly different to me any ideas http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/firthy_bucket/photo3.jpg http://i671.photobucket.com/albums/vv74/firthy_bucket/photo4.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites

DominicEckstein 0 Posted October 5, 2011 Report Share Posted October 5, 2011 Well to me they all look like Ceps its one of the joys of mushrroms they share charictaristics but very in shape and colour hugely even if they are the same species. I have eaten and cooked many different types from the well known such as truffels morels and girolles to the crazy to strage things as brain fungus and lions main fungus. i would deffinately recommend treating your self to a wild mushroom picking course wil be my brother runs a web site called mushroomdiaries.com message him your pics im sure he will have an idea for you, and if you need any recipes drop me a line i can hook you up.
