All of the elements are there, rainy spring and hot summer, now good

We got about a kg of varied bolets last ramble, including cepes, tetes
bronzees, bolet jaunes. Saw some girolles but they were already too old!

Obligatory note: don't gather and eat mushrooms unless you know what your
doing!

Just found several mushrooms on the lawn. I /think/ they are boletus
chrysenteron (red cracking bolete). But it is interesting how different
photos appear to be in books or on the internet for what is supposed to
be a common and distinctive species which is "easy" to identify.

Don't even "experienced" collectors sometimes make mistakes? And they
will only make it once if they misidentify Amanita phalloides!
