Ghost bolete (Leccinum holopus)

I think this is a ghost bolete, thought I'm not sure - I don't recognise it as any other kind of bolete, though I'm happy to be corrected if anyone knows!

Ghost boletes are a good edible, but quite rare in the UK, so (along with not being certain of ID) I left it be.

Today's urology waiting room thoughts are just extreme excited impatience to be set free and be able to go back to the HUGE FUCKING MUSHROOM I saw growing out the front of the hospital on my way in but didn't have time to look at properly

Fungi February: The pungent slippery jack has a strong odor that ranges from banana-like to harsh. It undergoes significant color changes over its lifetime, going from white to olive to brownish yellow, so it can be difficult to identify at a glance.

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!

Funguary Feb 17 - Edible Dotted Stem Bolete - Neoboletus luridiformis

Whilst edible when cooked properly, the Dotted Stem Bolete can cause extreme stomach issues when raw. Somewhat related to gelatinous cubes and even mimics, this particular dungeon denizen uses it's oversized tongue to create a slime trail that it can slowly perambulate down.

Funguary Week 3: Edible, Dotted Stem Bolete

A theme has emerged this month: mushroom scientists! Dot here is a food scientist who can't wait to tell you about how this lovely red mushroom is blue and black inside and you must cook it for a good long time or it will upset your stomach!

I have finally done it, I've married my "old" style with the style that emerged from Huevember! Very excited for this development.

I just really love this mushroom I knew what I wanted to do with it right away. The colors are just so gorgeous!!!

🍏 Tumbler Review: Superfood 180 Fruit and Veggie Capsules 🍅🌽

✨ "The Secret to Becoming a Superhuman (Or at Least Super Energized)" ✨

Alright, fellow health adventurers, gather 'round! If you’re tired of your daily struggle to incorporate the recommended 11 servings of fruits and veggies into your diet, while also not giving up pizza and ice cream, let me introduce you to the Superfood 180 Fruit and Veggie Capsules!

Veggie Power-Up: 180 veggie capsules mean you can finally say “I eat my greens” without actually having to chew on kale like a rabbit. Who knew tiny pills could make you feel like a health guru? 🥦💊

Energy Boost: Feeling sluggish? One scoop of these capsules (okay, technically it’s a handful) and you’ll be more energized than a toddler on a sugar rush. Goodbye naps, hello spontaneous dance parties! 🎉💃

Lycopene Levels for Days: They claim high levels of lycopene—which sounds fancy enough to impress your friends at brunch. “Oh, I only consume lycopene-rich foods, darling.” 🍅✨

Not an Actual Veggie Replacement: Sorry, but popping these bad boys won’t magically make you a master chef. You still have to avoid burning your toast. 🍞🔥

Slightly Less Exciting than a Salad: While they save time, they definitely won’t make you the star of the next TikTok cooking trend. “Look at my vibrant plate of… uh, capsules?” 😅📸

Capsule Confusion: If you accidentally mix these with your gummy vitamins, you might end up with a very confusing daily routine. “Am I getting my calcium or just a whole lot of fruit and veggie vibes?” 🤷‍♀️🍬

In summary, the Superfood 180 Capsules are your shortcut to pretending you’re a health-conscious adult while still enjoying your guilty pleasures. So, grab a bottle, pop a few, and let the world think you’re a botanical wizard! 🧙‍♂️✨

Somehow one of the mildly annoying things I still think about now and then in encountering a "new" mushroom species in our forests last year, Aureoboletus projectellus, or how it's locally dubbed the "golden bolete", which is an invader from north Murica lmao. It started appearing here about a decade ago and slowly taking over Europe's forests, and there's so much of it here now

🍄Ruby bolete (lat. Hortibolétus rubéllus). An edible mushroom that has no poisonous counterparts. It prefers to grow in oak forests, it's rare.

The color of the hat is noteworthy. It depends on the age of the mushroom: at first, the hat is bright red, but as it grows, the shade becomes darker and more complex: wine, reddish-brown, cherry, with notes of olive or brown🍂

🍄Моховик красный или боровик, болет красный (лат. Hortibolétus rubéllus). Съедобный гриб, не имеющий ядовитых двойников. Предпочитает расти в дубравах, встречается редко.

Примечателен цвет шляпки. Он зависит от возраста гриба: сначала шляпка ярко-красная, но по мере роста оттенок становится более темным и сложным: винным, красно-бурым, вишневым, с нотами оливкового или коричневого🍂

Iodine bolete (Hemileccinum impolitum)

This chunky boy can be recognised by their bright yellow pores which, along with their flesh, do not immediately change colour when cut (although they may take on a pink or blue tinge after a an hour or so), and their chemical-ey smell, reminiscent of iodine. 

They are edible but not sought after. I ate this one - it was mildly unpleasant!

[ req ! ] yes! here<3 i hope u like it hehe

[ summary ! ] fall trip w bf intak

[ word count ! ] 1218

[ author's note ! ] listen i would never think id EVER write a fanfic abt going mushroom picking w an idol but here we are. and if this concept is very strange and weird to u... well, its a normal thing in slavic countries id say ESP here, in poland!! however, please DO research or consult a professional if u wanna consume the shrooms u picked!! they can be misleading sometimes, lil devils >:)

also, it’s the last post for the november jam session:( let me know if you enjoyed it!

the crisp fall air filled your lungs, the breeze swaying your hair. intak just grinned, taking a quick look at you. one hand on the steering wheel, the other in yours. fingers intertwined, he squeezed your hand gently. 

“man, i love fall so much” you sighed dreamily, eyes scanning the trees that you were passing by. intak wasn’t going too fast so you could admire the view. leaves in a variety of colors adorning the brown boughs. oranges, reds, yellows danced in a swirl moved by a gust of wind. the road was uneven; however, the muddy road made no resistance to your jeep. 

“do you want some tea?” you asked and reached for the flash bottle, in which you earlier prepared earl grey with honey and lemon. 

intak hummed and let go of your hand to grab it. 

you watched him take a sip, the temperature of the tea perfect. it didn’t burn his tongue nor was too cold. he let out a dramatic sigh of satisfaction and handed you back the flask.

“delicious” intak grinned and soon enough his warm hand was back in yours “the gps says we’re gonna be there in a second but we can stop wherever, sweetheart”

“let’s just leave our car nearby this path, i don’t wanna get lost” you hummed and pointed at the spot in front of you. 

this forest had a visible path, probably a lot of other people going here as well. there was some space to leave the car so it wouldn’t be on the way. 

intak followed your instructions and turned off the car, leaving. you did too, stretching widely with a satisfied groan. 

you took a deep sigh, the smell of forest filled your lungs. you glanced around, adoring the sway of colors nearer you now. even being able to touch the leaves, you crouched and gathered a couple of them. the texture a bit dry and flaky beneath your fingers, you creeped to intak and threw them at him with a giggle. 

your boyfriend let out a surprised yelp when they touched his face and fell on him. a big, red and yellowish leaf stayed on his shoulder. 

still chuckling, you swept it off him with a grin. intak was just looking at you, smitten – his smile was just screaming that he’s whipped. but he always looked at you that way. 

“let’s go, hm? i’m really excited” he asked and his hand found yours but you pulled away. 

“and did you bring the basket?” you asked and turned around to go take it. 

picking mushrooms seemed like a weird date idea. but intak didn’t protest, no. quite the opposite, he got really invested. two or three weeks prior he started researching the types of mushrooms and how to identify them. for example, most mushrooms with sponges underneath their caps are edible. those with gills – not really. there are exceptions though, like chanterelles… they are a quite interesting species: they have so called “false gills” and due to that they are considered edible– 

“takie, here! come on!” you yelped with excitement and dragged intak into the forest. 

you had your coat and rain boots on, ready to hunt for some mushrooms. intak thought you looked absolutely adorable.

“i hope they left some for us, we’re kinda late” you sighed dramatically, stepping over a big branch in the ground. the fallen leaves were crunching underneath your feet. technically speaking, the mushroom picking season wasn’t over yet but passionate pickers more often than not go hunting the day mushrooms start to grow.

“i see a bolete!” he yelped suddenly and kneeled down, causing you to stop in your tracks. 

kneeling down next to him, you observed him precisely twist the mushroom gently. a little bit to the left, then a little bit to the right… slowly but surely… and soon enough it was out from the ground. after putting it gently into your basket, he covered the spot with dirt and leaves. 

“i heard it’s better to cover back the ground to allow the mycelium to continue growing” he looked at you with a huge smile, noticing your shocked expression “what?”

“nothing” you laughed, poking his side “you’re just so professional!” 

he scoffed and stood up, offering you his hand. you took it.

“look, i know we’re going to let my grandpa check the mushrooms but i still wanted to make sure we don’t pick any poisonous ones” he grinned and leaned to dust off your knees from dirt. “now let’s keep looking here. they often grow nearby”

after two hours or so you and intak had almost two full baskets of various mushrooms. their caps created a colorful spread of different shades of brown. they were big, small… some had long and thin stalls, whereas others were thick. 

intak opened the trunk of the car and hid the treasure safely on the passenger seat. then, he grabbed a red and white checkered blanket and called you to the back. 

helping you sit in the trunk, he later joined you. sun started slowly setting down and you had a perfect view over the forest. 

your boyfriend draped the warm blanket over you, love beaming in his ebony eyes. you grinned and leaned quickly to give him a quick kiss on the cheek, which was cold. he should’ve worn a warmer scarf, you thought. 

you scooted closer, thigh next to his. your legs were swinging in the air happily and you started searching for his hand underneath the blanket. you felt him move it away with a boyish giggle and you just whined.

“don’t be a meanie” with a huff, you leaned again and grabbed his hand. with dramatic force you intertwined your fingers together, a spark of warmth spreading through your body. 

“you know…” he started, voice low. he took his sweet time to wrap his arm around you and pull you even closer, head naturally resting on his shoulder. you both stared in silence at the sunset, pinks and oranges blending into one on the sky. the shadows of the trees danced on the ground, getting longer and longer. you kept looking at the sky, colors gradually shifting. “sometimes i hold you closer just to know you’re real” 

you slowly turned around, just to meet his eyes. it was so cliche but intak was already staring at you; your beauty outshining the sunset. 

with a gentle smile you moved your head to kiss him. your lips crashing on his softly. soon enough his free hand went to cup your cheek. it was warm, a bit calloused but oh, so perfect against your skin. with a swipe of his tongue, intak dominated the kiss - but not in an aggressive way. it was his way of expressing his love. 

you didn’t even realize when you became breathless, only when he pulled away with pink dusted face and a lopsided smile. 

“i’ll take the wheel, i know the route to your grandma’s house. you should rest, my bodyguard” you teased and gave him a final peck, returning to rest your head against his shoulder. 

the sky was darker now, sun hanging lower above the forest. but the golden sunlight still framed your face in such a way, that intak couldn’t help but grin foolishly… and consider kneeling soon.

HORROR WEEK- FOTD #144 : apple bolete! (exsudoporus frostii)

the apple bolete (also frost's bolete) is a mycorrhizal fungus in the family boletaceae >:-) it typically grows near the hardwood trees of the eastern US, southern mexico & costa rica. it was chosen for horror week due to its appearance being reminiscent of muscle tissue !!

the big question : will it kill me?? nope !! however, although they are edible, they are not recommended for consumption as it is quite easy to confuse them with other red boletes. ^^

e. frostii description :

"the shape of the cap of the young fruit body ranges from a half sphere to convex, later becoming broadly convex to flat or shallowly depressed, with a diameter of 5–15 cm (2.0–5.9 in). the edge of the cap is curved inward, although as it ages it can uncurl and turn upward. in moist conditions, the cap surface is sticky as a result of its cuticle, which is made of gelatinized hyphae. if the fruit body has dried out after a rain, the cap is especially shiny, sometimes appearing finely areolate (having a pattern of block-like areas similar to cracked, dried mud). young mushrooms have a whitish bloom on the cap surface.

the colour is bright red initially, but fades with age. the flesh is up to 2.5 cm (1.0 in) thick, & ranges in colour from pallid to pale yellow to lemon yellow. the flesh has a variable staining reaction in response to bruising, so some specimens may turn deep blue almost immediately, while others turn blue weakly & slowly.

the tubes comprising the pore surface (the hymenium) are 9–15 mm deep, yellow to olivaceous yellow (mustard yellow), turning dingy blue when bruised. the pores are small (2 to 3 per mm), circular, & until old age a deep red colour that eventually becomes paler. the pore surface is often beaded with yellowish droplets when young (a distinguishing characteristic), & readily stains blue when bruised. the stipe is 4 to 12 cm (1.6 to 4.7 in) long, & 1 to 2.5 cm (0.4 to 1.0 in) thick at its apex. it is roughly equal in thickness throughout its length, though it may taper somewhat toward the top ; some specimens may appear ventricose (swollen in the middle). the stipe surface is mostly red, or yellowish near the base ; it is reticulate — characterized by ridges arranged in the form of a net-like pattern."

These mushrooms are edible for some reason? The Cornflower Bolete is not toxic, they don’t even produce a taste or smell that anyone would consider offensive. They do however turn blue when cut or damaged, which I can only assume is a natural deterrent, as experts say the blue color is highly unappetizing in person. They are close cousins to the Porcini Mushroom, and are quite delicious sautéed into a dish, or just fried with a little butter.

Day 4, Cornflower Bolete, fungal carnage like you’ve never seen.
