You guys had a lot of great finds! ❤🍄

[@beesoung]

This season is the best I've seen. Thank you.

[@generalbrus8627]

your "lookalikes" are Suillus, here in Europe I pick them up when ever I find them, the texture is a bit too soft for being "excellent" - but if you dry them they fit really well into pasta as a meat substitute.

[@beesoung]

Thank you. I appreciate the info

[@davidhakes3884]

Nice Bunch of Boletes, I miss the Coastal Bounty.

[@beesoung]

[@loralor8203]

[@kuvang2151]

[@xaviervigouroux706]

7:29 suillus luteus. This is ebible, but you must remove sticky cuticule on the cap.

[@KhwanUSA]

Nice job guys!👍

[@beesoung]

Thank you

[@anzhelikavardi7204]

"Look alike" - they are Suillus))) They are so good to eat! Fry! Can! Dry!

[@NimmiPonte]

Hi May I ask what kind of habitat should I look for?

[@beesoung]

@@NimmiPonte Boletus edulis grows on soil beneath trees, notably beech and birch, and less commonly oaks as well as pines, spruces and occasionally other conifers. You can find them on the Oregon and Washington Coast in late September and early October after a good rainfall

[@khuester71]

Cov nceb King Boletes nuav kuv twb pum ntau ntau in the past taabsis tsi paub tas noj tau. Qaab le caag os? Kuv nyam noj matsutake xwb.

[@beesoung]

King Bolete and Spring King Bolete are the most prized wild mushrooms all around the world with excellent nutritional properties. This is one of the best edible mushrooms with a meaty texture, great aroma, and taste. Also somewhat sweet and nutty. Next time koj pum, dle coj lug sim saib koj puam nyam. Matsutake yeej yog ib cov nceb kws qaab heev le hab. Thank you.

[@coryg7051]

I live on Vancouver Island so a similar climate to you. What elevations are you finding these at? I spent the past five weekends in the bush and haven't come across a single one

[@beesoung]

These are at sea level on the coast

[@JustMeandMyHobbies]

The other mushroom looks like it's from a suillus family.

[@beesoung]

I think you are correct. There are a few varieties from the suillus family.

[@mmmmmray]

Beautiful! What was the process you went through to determine that there would be King Boletes to forage at this area?

[@beesoung]

Usually during the fall season when the weather is wet for a few weeks, that's when these mushrooms start to pop up at sea level

[@mmmmmray]

How many days would you say they pop up after a rain in ideal conditions?@@beesoung

[@beesoung]

A week after a good rain

[@mmmmmray]

I've read it to be about 10 days but they never specify if it'll be a button bolete by that time or a gigantic bug infested bolete by then. Hoping to find some this week when I go out! :)@@beesoung

[@beesoung]

@@mmmmmray good luck, have fun, and be safe.

[@OglenStillafano]

Was this in Oregon?

[@beesoung]

Washington Coast but Oregon does have a lot more

[@beesoung]

Washington Coast

[@s__xx]

Nice what general area is this ?

[@beesoung]

Many areas on the Washington Coast from Long Beach to Ocean Shores

[@otakusan2003]

are you in OR or WA?

[@beesoung]

I'm in Washington but I heard Oregon has a lot too

[@toukong4132]

[@beesoung]

Thank you

[@josephfulciniti314]

You should never collect mushrooms in a plastic bag…

[@beesoung]

Yes will have to invest in one of these mesh mushroom bag. Thank you.

[@brianjanku4549]

Unless it's all you have!

[@fattymcbastard6536]

Nice finds. I need to find an area like that. Whenever I stumble upon one, it's always riddled with worm tunnels. For example, just today I found four very young Queen boletes, and the bugs had already beat me to them. So frustrating. I managed to find a serving of hedgehogs at least.

[@beesoung]

Thank you
