i haven't taken the time to lable them in the post, but the thumbs link to the full size images with labels and brief descriptions.
this trip was a blast, and i have enough Porcini drying now to last till the next trip.
after cleaning the Boletes, i sliced them up, between two piles. the first pile was for all the crisp, firm slices with no bugs. these are spread out to dry until crisp, at which point they will be bagged and stored in the freezer to be used as needed.
the second pile, all the specimens which are beginning to get soft, but are still sound to eat, or had some bugs [trimmed away] are stored in a paper bag in the fridge for use within the next few days, as they do not dry well. they are just as good to eat and i will be cooking them much in the next few days.
the smaller pieces, such as those which crumbled off as i was slicing where held aside for immediate use, fried in butter with a dash of salt and two cloves of garlic. these are going into a mushroom chowder i'll be making today. i hope to take a few photos and write up a recipe for the chowder.
not pictured, i also brough home a nice big specimen of Boletus appendiculatus, the butter bolete. these are good to eat, but by most accounts must be cooked very thoroughly to avoid gastic upset.
i thought i'd share:
