Perhaps the world’s most
beloved mushroom, there is
a common name for Boletus
edulis in just about every
country in the Northern
Hemisphere. Italians know
it as “porcini” (piglet), to the
French it is a “cep” (trunk),
and in Germany, they refer
to it as the “Steinpilz” (stone
mushroom). But no matter
what they call it, no matter
how it is pronounced — its
every name is synonymous
with “delicious.”
Prized for its tender
meatiness and full, earthy
lavor, the king bolete can
grow to large sizes, reach-
ing almost 10 inches in
height, with a cap that can
be up to 12 inches wide.
Although found in both
deciduous and coniferous
forests, here along our
coast, where this delicacy
grows proliically, it prefers
the company of pine and
spruce. Distinguished by
a big, round, leshy cap
(usually brown or tan in
color), which grows atop a
short, white, plump stalk,
this mushroom is one of
the most sought after in
our region. A delight either
fresh or dried, it is a revered
wild food among culinary
circles.
Like all mushrooms, B.
edulis is a fungus, and so
considered one of the plan-
et’s great recyclers; trans-
forming plant matter into
soil, they thrive on Earth’s
debris. This particular
fungus also happens to be
mycorrhizal, meaning that
it forms a very special, sym-
biotic relationship with the
trees under which it grows.
The underground network
of thread-like structures
that supports the life of a
mushroom — called the
mycelium — grows around
and between the roots
of its forest neighbors,
delivering more water and
nutrients to the tree, and
in return, receiving sugar
from the tree’s process of
photosynthesis. This unique
relationship also makes
it impossible to cultivate
this species of mushroom
synthetically.
Though no one un-
learned in the ways of
edible fungi should ever
attempt to pick or eat a
mushroom without the
accompaniment of an
experienced guide, the
king bolete is an excellent
mushroom for beginners,
as it is easy to identify and
has no poisonous looka-
likes. But be prepared, as
hands-on learning can be
hard to come by: Most for-
agers love this mushroom
so much, they tend to get a
little greedy!
