A second one 50 cms away, (no shot as it was in poor condition) had yellow pores. This is was led to me think of badius/edulis

As far as my reading goes, it is the white net at the stipe that determines many of the edibles, in fact I read all the white net types are edible. If I had seen yours i would have thought the same at first its got a lot of the right features. Either way its a nice example, fresh.

David,

In the optimal phase of the life cycle of f.i. an oak, several ectomycorrhizal macrofungi can fruit from the roots of one tree, each having their own territory on parts of its root system. There can even be more then one species living on the same root.

I've seen random combinations of Boletus edulis, B. erythropus, Chalciporus piperatus, Xerocomus badius, X. chrysenteron s.l. and Leccinum quercinum along with several Russula and Lactarius species fruiting from the roots of one old solitary oak at the same time, which shows, that one tree can have the benefits of the supply of water and nutrients from 10 to 20 ectomycorrhizal symbionts attached to its roots in a specific period of its life.

Boletus edulis is edible, just as Boletus erythropus is, which does not have a white net at the top of the stipe.

3 litres of Cantharellus tubaeformis. Not bad for a morning walk in the woods...

Tobias & David,

IME freezing and defrosting kantarell and tratt kantarell makes them very slimy , so just as our Swedish friends, I like to make chutney of them or long term preserve them by drying in a circular vegetable drying apparatus we bought in Sweden and also use for drying thin slices of Karl Johan (Boletus edulis).

 

By the way, Tobias. Where are you stationed in Sweden ?

Gerrit,

 

do you then rehydrate with boiling water, or just add to whatever you're cooking ?

I always saute Trattkantarell before freezing them but my experience is that cibaria freezes very well! I just defrost them in the fryingpan and make whatever I want... with a big chunk of butter of course! Found a couple of Boletus edulis but our insect friends already had started their feast so I left them to be finished.

 

Gerrit I would never reveal my true identity on the net nor reveal my safehouse!!!
