Edible


But not chocolate-covered - that's its natural appearance.  Tentatively surmised to be a member of the genus Boletus.

  1. Not Boletus edulus, but a bolete type mushroom. B. edulis would have a reticulated stem.

    1. Thank you, Ken. I've amended the text accordingly.

  2. it looks like the shiny stuff may be some kind of liquid, or slime? i see the edges as being dry, and the slime covering the middle?

    i am not sure that i would pick that one; hopefully, i would have found boletes that i know are safe and edible.

    I-)
