King Bolete: Boletus Edulis


Call it a Porcini, Cep or King Bolete, Boletus Edulis is a prized edible mushroom around the world.


On the West Coast it often can be found growing in pine forests, but it also grows easily in coniferous forests.

Boletus Edulis sprout in the summer at higher elevations and during the fall at lower elevations.

Identifying the species can be fairly easy under certain circumstances. The top picture, for example, shows a large mushroom with light brown cap, pores and hefty, club shaped stipe or stem.
