Porcini, cep, penny bun (Boletus edulis)

This is the absolute gold-standard of wild fungi, and was a wonderful gift from my neighbours who came home from mushroom hunting with their family with far too many.

It's incredibly hearty and flavourful and can be used in any mushroom dish - risottos and stews are especially good. My favourite use is to dehydrate it, as I'm doing here, in order to have it for months to come to add to soups, stews and broths.

Fungi February: The porcini mushroom can vary wildly in size, ranging from small buttons to growing up to 30-40cm in diameter and 3kg in weight! Though tasty, it can be difficult to find one you'd want to eat because molds and fly larvae like to eat them, too.

Disclaimer: Don’t rely on pictures of cute mushrooms with eyes to accurately identify edible mushrooms. At best the wrong one will taste bad, at worst it’ll be deadly!

FOTD #103 : penny bun! (boletus edulis)

the penny bun (also cep, king bolete, porcini or porcino) is a basidiomycete fungus in the family boletaceae. it occurs naturally across europe, asia & north america, but has also been introduced to southern africa, australia, aotearoa & brazil. it grows in association with the roots of both coniferous & deciduous trees :-)

the big question : can i bite it?? to answer, i will quote a part of the b. edulis wikipaedia - "boletus edulis, as the species epithet edulis (latin : 'edible') directly implies, is an edible mushroom. the flavour has been described as nutty & slightly meaty, with a smooth, creamy texture, & a distinctive aroma reminiscent of sourdough."

b. edulis description :

"the fruit body has a large brown cap which on occasion can reach 30 cm (12 in), rarely 40 cm (16 in) in diameter & 3 kg (6 lb 10 oz) in weight. it has tubes extending downward from the underside of the cap, rather than gills ; the pore surface of the b. edulis fruit body is whitish when young, but ages to a greenish-yellow. the stout stipe, or stem, is white or yellowish in colour, up to 20 cm (8 in), rarely 30 cm (12 in) tall & 10 cm (4 in) thick, & partially covered with a raised network pattern, or reticulations."

I'm gonna be honest, I have zero explanation or excuses for this one. Self-indulgent crossover just for the sake of it. If you get it you get it. Posts with a target audience of one person (me).
