I think it looks delicious though.
Hypholoma fasciculare
The edible species is Hypholoma capnoides which looks quite similar.
You're viewing a single thread.
The big identification factor is that fasciculare is very bitter! I love Hypholoma lateritium and that's a trick I learned to help distinguish them.
Hmm thanks, you made me read up on the topic some more. If I come across some capnoides I think I will try and identify them with certainty! The taste is indeed a pretty fail proof factor. And actually it should even be possible to identify them visually.
I am always a little scared when leaving the relatively safe terrain of my beloved boletes.
