Porcini/Bolete?
« on: November 05, 2015, 10:34:50 am »
I was down in the lower 40 just checking things out and wala porcinis.
Not really early but maybe unusual. Not much rain and very warm??
Mine may be just regular boletes.

Yes they are Steve.
 I first noticed them growing under
White and Austrian pines I planted down the
property line. They were easy to spot on the lawn.
But then while searching around I found quite a colony
of them down on the edge of the natural forest I have
 let grow for the last 30 years. It's mixed pine and cedar
mostly. I have lost the Austrian pines to bores and the
mushrooms don't seem to grow there anymore.??

Here are the mshrooms and the white pines.
I watered them them the night before last.
They were gone in the morning.
Darn neighbors. Rabbits, deer, opossums
and maybe the guy that lives over  the hill. >:D

Kind of yellowish and slimy on top?  Sounds like what's called the chicken fat mushroom. Typically grows under pines in a ring roughly around the drip line.

From what I understand they are edible but not real desire able. Always be 100percent sure what they are
