Rekon this is the common one per the illustration already posted by David above as mentioned above. http://www.flickr.com/photos/8130344...in/photostream I don't think that the original was a Boletus - that's easy to check, because Boleti have spongy pores, and I suspect that one has gills. It might be a Lactarius, in which case it would weep milky sap when broken, but there are other possibilities. There is a Hebeloma that grows in my garden that looks similar, but it's not one of the most common ones. Neither Boletus nor Lactarius are particularly dangerous, because the key indicator is pretty obvious, and none of the REALLY lethal fungi belong to either. But some of them are definitely poisonous, and mere diarrhoea and vomiting can kill people with prexisting problems. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
