FOTD #132 : shaggy stalked bolete! (aureoboletus betula)

the shaggy stalked bolete is a mushroom-producing fungus in the family boletaceae. it is found across eastern north america (especially in the southern appalachians), where it forms mycorrhizal associations with hardwoods - especially oak. it often grows in moss :-)

the big question : can i bite it?? yes - this fungus is edible !!

A special entertainer, a botbot idol fro outside! Who is this bot? And he appears to have partners.... His personality? Still working on it...

Any suggestions?
