Boletus, It might not make you trip.. but..

It sure is a cool fungi, to play with when you are tripping..


This is a very neat little-giant mushroom, its somewhat edible and plenty abundant. It can be confused from a distance to Laughing Gym. But Gyms have gills..
And while though Boletus is not a psychedelic mushroom, it really acts like its wants to be..
Finding a nice Boletus you will see that once its cut or torn, it rapidly changes color and is kinda pretty in the sunlight..
I find the stems to be very tasty and sort of squidish, turning a cool green color when in the mouth. Some people fry them. I have not yet. I may...
Thanks for reading..

 

Boletus are fun.
I usually hunt for them during the late summer in Sweden. Then they get fried up and put on sammiches or they're consumed in some other way.

I'll make sure to grab some pictures of some that I find this summer. I've found some pretty big ones, it's just too bad I don't have any pictures of them

 

cool.. my gf was all like wow when i split one in the sunlight, shes a good shroom hunter, but dont travel the hard places..

 

I love the picture ! im well into my boletes In my profile you can see that im into mushrooms/fungi.....the boletus luridiformis are my favourite for the dramatic change from pale cream to bright blue!
my favourite one to eat tho is the "king Bolete" or boletus edulis (penny bun).....well yummy!

 

hi, welcome to hip forum..
its a shame it isnt psychedelic, but sometimes it so fun I think it actually is.. (not lit)..
Its very close to home making it a cool treat whenever I go there.

 

O, if you hadn't said something. I'd a thunk Sib, (again, welcome) was Odon from the avatar...My fav shroom reference, Mushrooms Demystified, 2nd ed, by David Aurora...It puts the boletes in the highly yummy but non trippy category...really want more experience in the field with wild edible mushrooms.

 

now, i feel like ive been missing these tasty shrooms. Your all more familiar than I .. weird when i lived in the country I got tired of fungi hunting. I dont really find shrooms to be a meal, unless then meal of knowledge..Im consuming.

 

They're more a side dish....unless they're the kind that get you high.

 

Flavor improves with drying.

 

Absolutely! I have a bag of dried cep's and you only need a few to make a great stock for a resotto.

 

I had one the other day and made a sammich. And said "look my neat color changing sammich" and the other person said "Gross".. same clown that stuff his face with mcdonalds.. WTF.. I need new friends..

 

orgasmic as shiat

 

Make them some chantarelle sammiches, and they'll think diffrently about mushroom sammiches.

It's what first opened me to eating fungus
