I have always been curious how old man of the woods taste? It looks like a roasted marshmallow, and is very puffy, I feel like the texture would be odd.

I will go with bolete buddy going forward! Thanks for the tip. Looks like Polytropic below nailed this one down and you were right it is in the king bolete complex. Any recipe suggestions on them?

Also the more I dug the more I saw going on with that complex. Crazy complicated and lots more for us to learn.

Nice pull! This matches exactly. Online seems to have little information on this guy’s range which was my only concern from me, from wiki “with distribution limits unknown”. As usual it seems like there are more questions then answers with mushroom species.

I am going to call it and grab some for dinner. This is my first time trying something in the King Bolete complex so I am pumped. Thanks so much for the help.

These stipes give me the heeby jeebys, great find!

My dog and him had a Mexican standoff where they just started at each. Must have been a weird day for the little guy.

Where about is this beauty located? It looks like old man of the woods(Strobilomyces strobilaceus) to me.

I love these. The shine and feel of the lacquered bits is nice.

They hold there shape as long as you are gentle. They don’t turn to sloppy messes. I would say the flavor is slightly peppery.
