From Charly, who notes: Another one of my favourites, but unfortunately it is not very common around here. Not only is it very tasty, but it can relatively often be found in big size without maggots having infested it. This time we found only this one specimen, but we were not going into the right habitat, so I did not expect to find even that. Latin: Leccinum versipelle. Click for full size!

From Charly, who notes: Probably the most photogenic of the edible mushrooms I know. Obviously tasty too, given the bites taken out. Click for full size!

Hortensia, Couronne Impériale (Hydrangea, Crown Imperial). J.J. Grandville, Les fleurs animées.
From Charly, who notes: Probably the most prized mushroom around here, not only edible and tasty in many preparations, but also can be dried and stored. There are people who do not collect anything else, but I am not so picky. It has the advantage that it cannot be mistaken for anything poisonous or dangerous, however there is a beautiful inedible bolete (bitter bolete) around here, that is very similar in looks sometimes, but can be easily and safely recognised by simply licking the cut when unsure. Unfortunately I have seen only one specimen of that one this time and I totally forgot to make a picture. Click for full size!

From Charly, who notes: Another edible mushroom, I personally do not like it very much, but my nephew who was collecting with me does. It makes passable fried breaded cutlets, but in my opinion the blusher is much tastier. Click for full size!
