The biggest King Bolete I've ever seen was found in the Manchester area a few days ago
Irma Brandt was the lucky one who came home with this Boletus edulis, a choice edible mushroom. She brought it over and Rick weighed it. It was a mighty four pounds. When Irma sliced it for drying she found no bugs at all. That's a lot of porcini mushrooms for the months to come!

That can't be real! What a find!
ReplyDeleteI could not believe my eyes, Karen. I've never seen one even close to that size. But I got to hold it and feel how firm it was. Pretty amazing!
