Rosemary Langton (Spain) - 09 November 2015

This specimen measured 23cm across with a single stem. It confused the identification a bit as the maximum size given was 15cm. But all the other data fitted; under holm oaks, on the ground etc. And all of the others measured more than15cm. Córdoba Province, Spain. They were very good!

Meriel Cairns (United Kingdom) - 27 June 2011

This mushroom is a dark yellow and does not discolour when cut. I hope it is edible as I ate one a few days ago! Seems very early in the year for boletus mushrooms but I always get lots from this site.
