Pat,
Looks like you picked dozens of them without knowing whether they were edible or how rare they are....
Sorry, but I'm now following a policy not identifying mushrooms when loads have been picked by a person who doesn't know what they are.
ONLY PICK FOR EATING IF YOU KNOW WHAT YOU ARE PICKING. IF PICKING FOR ID THEN TAKE ONLY ONE. WHEN YOU HAVE LEARNED THE SPECIES, THEN MAYBE YOU CAN PICK FOR EATING.
Pat...please don't take this personally. I'm just dreading the day when somebody actually does post a whole load of rare and protected mushrooms, at which point this website will be in ethical trouble.
Just for the record, these are not worth eating, or picking.
Geoff...signing off for a few days. Time to let some other people have a go. |

Hi Geoff,
thanks for the reply.
I agree with you. I picked only 2 of them, those pictured in the first two photos. The third photo shows one of them broken in two to display the meat color and other two caps found on the floor nearby.
Can't be that rare as there are quite a lot of them, protected maybe if i know if it's worth, They live nearby to a public path so if they should be protectected...
Re eating / picking: what kind of bolete is this?
I'd love to know that more than the edible/poisonous.
Thanks,
Pat |

Pat,
They're common a muck. This is Boletus chrysenteron, otherwise known as the red-cracked bolete, for rather obvious reasons.
I'm taking a three day holiday from this board. Enjoy the soggies. :-D
