The Scarletina Bolete turns blue when you cut it. But it's one of my favorite's as it's got a nice crunchy texture and tastes great too. You need to know how to identify it and you will be surprised how good they are. Found penny buns and loads of honey fungus and wood ear mushrooms this week. Happy foraging and good luck!
Yeah! Loads of tasty ones that also stain blue like leccinum cyanobasileucum and the slate bolete. The ‘no blue no red’ rule is just a tool to keep beginner foragers safe, I wouldn’t want to put anything on here that could lead someone to harm 😊 I haven’t found a single Penny Bun this year, desperately trying to find some before the first frost sets in but it isn’t looking promising haha I hope you’re having a good week so far and thanks so much for watching 🙏
Very enjoyable, informative video!👍. I have yet to find amethyst deceiver, on my list!😊. I could see it confused with Cortinaria violaceus perhaps? Anyway, happy hunting!
nice video man, certainly got a like and sub from me, I will need to check out more of your content when I wake up but loving what I see here. Peace and love.
Another rule to go by with boletes is "a dark head is never dead." You might pick up a bitter bolete that doesn't taste nice, but it won't kill you. Bay boletes are almost as good as porcini, I'd say even better because it's much more abundant.
@@Fieldstudy_ They're absolutely delicious! I do cut off the spores though, they get really soggy and slimy when I cook them. I dry them and then mix them in with my wild mushroom salt.
Yeah down on the Isle of Wight 😀 apparently people on the Island used to sell polydactyl cats to people on the mainland claiming they were ‘Isle of Wight Hunting Cats’ and charging a premium for them 😅
Usually yes, which is why I was sceptical when identifying in the field. However, a mycologist I know has assured me that sometimes the pores of theBay Bolete don’t bruise blue if the climatic conditions are wrong.
@@Fieldstudy_ fair enough, though I've never seen Bay Bolete that hasn't bruised blue and I know this mushroom quite well. Another reason why I am fairly confident it's not a Bay Bolete is that it is never bulky towards the base of the stem (yours is). The stem is straight-ish and thinner than the stem of a Penny Bun, for example. Tubes are yellow-ish / lemony and when you cook it, the flesh turns slimy, kind of like Slippery Jack.
@@Easylanguageschoolenglish I see what you’re saying, the stipe is a little on the chunky side but there were a few others growing nearby that had a more typical Bay Bolete stem. In fact another that I picked didn’t stain blue in the field however, I tested it a few days later when I was about to cook it and they bruised faintly blue. Unfortunately for ID purposes it wasn’t growing under conifers so couldn’t be a Pine Bolete or a Slippery Jack 😅
"We know its a bolete because it has a stem and, a cap" ever watched neature walk? , "yOu CaN tElL iTs a TreE BecCAuSe oF THe wAy iT iS" haha love your stuff man suprised youre not a larger channel but then again this kind of content is shadowbanned on youtube so not too surprising, keep growing my friend, focus your channel marketing attempts outside of youtube if you want too grow faster xxx

I’ve not heard that one before, nice to meet a fellow Bay Bolete fan ☺️

Came for the mushrooms, stayed for your polydactyl kitty :) where about in the uk are you foraging? (Roughly, don’t dox yourself lol)
Oh just realised you said Isle of Wight 😅
Yeah down on the Isle of Wight 😀

Nice, dude - but can you tone down the twitter, please (catching leaves, etc.)?
Thankyou! What do you mean by twitter?
@@Fieldstudy_ The uninteresting irrelavencies, like the catching leaves stuff. Keep up the good work.
It's not Bay Bolete as they turn blue when you bruise them.

Thats a Bronze Bolete - Boletus Aereus 100%
I’m hoping we get another flush this year so I can make a better ID, I’ve been studying Geoffrey Kibby’s book on boletes in preparation 🍄🟫
