King Bolete Boletus edulis |
I'm not telling where I went hiking today. I went to find Matsutake and I did find three of them, but look what I found in the middle of my Matsutake spot!
I had a great time hiking and mushroom hunting but the weather was very hot so I turned back short of my goal.
It's a good thing that I hike light, I had a lot of extra mushroom weight to carry on the way out.

Here are some videos from today's hike:

I was really hoping for this to be a Matsutake, was I let down or was it a Matsutake?
