Boletus

[Rolando]

Anyone have any experience with Boletus in Oklahoma? Found about a half dozen under some oaks. I know Morels but these Boletus are new to me other seeing some Boletus in Italy in the market. Some of the ones I found had been gnawed on by a ?squirrel?. I saved a couple and will post pics.

I won't be eating this one but it has interested me. I don't think there are any poisonous boletes but but I am not 100% sure so I'm not going to chance it.

I have picked a lot of King Boletes in Colorado. They are delicious. They are a real big toadstool looking mushroom and kind of yellow colored as I remember but it has been 10 years since I picked any. Here is a link to what they look like. It says they only grow above 10,000 feet, which we were picking them at around 12,000 near Fairplay, CO.
