Description
The King Bolete is a very popular, delicious, meaty mushroom that grows all over the world. It has many names such as king, cep, porcini, steinpilz, penny bun and many others. It is apparently a complex of closely related species with similar looks, habitat, and flavor wherever it is found. It is highly variable in coloration. More study of this group will be required to sort out the variants more accurately. The king is a favorite and familiar mushroom drawn, painted or sculpted by artists. The king is often very large and stately with a thick club shaped stem, thick cap and an impressive kingly appearance.
It's a very good edible mushroom, sought after by mycophagists (mushroom eaters) all the world over. It dries very well and can be purchased in many local supermarkets now. But what excitement to find it in the forests!

Love the shine and sharpness on the mushroom against the bokeh for the background. Nice shot!
