And the hunt continues! The steady stream of cars continue to whizz past Bella Baita before dawn and everywhere you go the local osterias are selling "Nostrani Funghi "
(our local mushrooms, assumed Porcini as none other get to be called funghi in local legend)
Ok so now hopefully I have set the record straight by replacing the capre photo with a proper procini photo. Mea culpa!

looks like Leccinum versipelle (orange birch boletus) to me!
You're correct. I knew someone would give me the correct name, here it's common name capre. So it's actually boletus pin up of the day!
News to me! I admire those who really know their stuff when it comes to forest mushrooms. A friend of mine once told me that to earn some money, he and his friends went to harvest fresh morels. I don't remember the details but the one thing that stuck in my head is that he said something about going to an area where there was a recent fire. I suppose one can safely assume that morels grow on ground only after a fire?
Ooops...sorry for going off-topic. I love those funghi/porcini/orange birch pics!
