That the pine boletus is rarely found, that's not true. I've seen a lot of them this year already. Now they are in full growth anyway. nasmeh

I will add to the topic of boletes or porcini -as you like. There are huge numbers of boletes-edible, inedible, conditionally edible and poisonous.The best known to us are boletes under the Latin name Boletus which includes among others our ajdovček,yellow,summer autumn bolete-porcini,spruce bolete-juniper bolete.These were edible boletes.We also have inedible-heavy bolete,bitter bolete and conditionally edible-velvet bolete,pig bolete.I know that only devil's bolete is poisonous, but it can be confused with all boletes that have red spore print.I will comment on dprapr's harvest. You can clearly see from the stems and caps that on pictures 2.,3.,and 5. are ajdovčki or black bolete-porcini.On No. 1 it could already be autumn bolete -porcini, which has a light or dark reddish-brown cap.Interesting is the bolete on picture No. 4-by cap color it could be summer or wheat bolete.But you need to know that identifying boletes by cap color is thankless work.Cap color is influenced by several factors-lighting, age etc.Important is to know the stem and spore print.We with my colleague have already mastered that successfully. Last year a colleague from the society showed me in the forest a very rare bolete-king bolete-is extremely rare.We two with colleague never found it.Interesting that it has yellow spore print and stem.

For the bolete on 1st picture you gave correct identification, for the others you'll have to study more. nasmeh

The identifications are not correct indeed.
Here are two kings, if you see them more rarely.

dprapr, I'm interested where you polished them.

madeira I also on 03.09. photographed similar bunch of these completely white mushrooms.With you it's really puffball. Mine were different -I think it's two-colored milkcap.Turns red on pressure-I didn't taste.

All pictures show autumn boletes.
On the 2nd, 3rd, and 5th pictures there are so-called spruce boletes, on the 4th picture it could also be called boletus citrinus, but now it's just named autumn bolete.
I have never found black bolete in my life, because I only collect locally. True though, that in some places in Slovenia these dark brown ones are called ajdovčki, which is not correct. Ajdovček is black bolete.

dprapr, in our area mushrooms with dark brown caps everyone calls ajdovčki. Sometimes they are almost black. That's how it is, what you hear you pass on...In the book Giuseppe Pace- All about mushrooms, I looked up the picture- black bolete, ajdovec, golomba, porcini. With us more common on the coast and in Istria.. Joy when you find it, main thing it's porcini..

velkavrh, back then after Chernobyl there were mushrooms in abundance. And we all collected them, even though we suspected why they grew like that....

- Black boletus, buckwheat mushroom, pigeon mushroom, king bolete, the main thing is to find it..

Why then were there so many last year and especially the year before? Unless we don't know something. nasmeh

I connect it with winters. In 2018 in our areas in the second part of winter there was huge snow, forest soils were slowly soaking. Not comparable to this year's conditions, when it's dry as pepper. Rare rains have no effect.
Although I can't complain about the first part of the season. Porcini and chanterelles were in abundance.

I haven't heard of spruce boletes yet-maybe it's called that locally. In the literature it's listed as pine bolete or fir bolete-Boletus pinicola. Separately the autumn bolete-king bolete-Boletus edulis is listed. Both are very similar, only that the stem on the pine bolete is wider. Both have similar habitats.

We used a lot of different mushroom field guides with my colleague for identification. The last two years before Chernobyl the guide Our Mushroom Wealth-authors Stropnik, Tratnik and Seljak.

Hi, yes only now I noticed velkavrh's comments about the pine mushroom and oak mushroom. To me too (my picture) it seems more similar to the oak one, yet - in the immediate vicinity there were only pines... Maybe the mycelium reaches that far already, hmmm confused

I have time and I'm reviewing mushrooms. On 06.08. Sorok posted on both pictures also russulas.Our expert-Škofja Loka says,that there are huge amounts of russula and ,that sometimes it's hard to identify a certain type of russula, because the caps of a certain type of russulas color in different shades of the color that a certain type of russula has. In general they are edible. A few years ago he showed me in the forest even a poisonous vomiting russula.Among them there are also inedible, conditionally edible, barely edible.My colleague and I picked only three types -greenish,bluish or bluefoot-is common and bruising. Sorok's is probably raspberry one.

On 25.07. you posted under no. 4-nice picture of slimy-legged bolete , which is inedible.Under picture no. 1 it should be the speckled slug, if I identified it correctly.

With my colleague we had the greatest pleasure identifying mushrooms .We always had two wicker baskets with us. In one we picked king boletes ,chanterelles ,russulas,morels .In the other we picked all the rest and then at home photographed them and tried to identify them. We also took them to an expert-unfortunately that gentleman is deceased now.He photographed them my colleague -at that time I didn't have a good camera.We saved the pictures in my computer.Unfortunately my computer crashed twice and I don't have those pictures anymore.But I still like to photograph some mushroom. On the hike to Snežnik I photographed three.
