I have "backed" a couple of their projects. Big fan of Steve and the team.

One of the gifts was a 128gb thumb drive which at this point is probably about the amount of money I sent their way.

I will go with bolete buddy going forward! Thanks for the tip. Looks like Polytropic below nailed this one down and you were right it is in the king bolete complex. Any recipe suggestions on them?

Also the more I dug the more I saw going on with that complex. Crazy complicated and lots more for us to learn.

Nice pull! This matches exactly. Online seems to have little information on this guy's range which was my only concern from me, from wiki "with distribution limits unknown". As usual it seems like there are more questions then answers with mushroom species.

I am going to call it and grab some for dinner. This is my first time trying something in the King Bolete complex so I am pumped. Thanks so much for the help.

My dog and him had a Mexican standoff where they just started at each other. Must have been a weird day for the little guy.

I have been bringing some home the past couple weeks as well. I like them in sauces mostly as they do not have a strong flavor in my opinion. Whenever it is muggy and I am sweating outside, I know it is time to hunt chanterelle.

Nice, I love the freaks in nature. I am trying to get a stable line of giant sunflowers that flower at every node. Here is my front runner this year who I will collect seed from.

I have zinnias all over the yard as well and love them. I collected seed last year from my plants and some strange mixing is happening. I have colors I did not last year, which is a good thing in my book.

Most critters want nothing to do with you. Your poke it till it leaves strategy is a sound one. Just don't corner it and give it an easy way out. If it is an opposum they play dead which I am sure you are aware of. So if you spook it good it will lay there, then after awhile it will start moving again and take off.

I agree though that keeping it away might be the trickier part but I have no experience on that realm.

Earlier today I evicted a groundhog from my backyard so I feel your pain.

I would love to see a photo of that when they are ready. I moved last year to a place with lots of space and I have been planting random stuff just figuring out what I like. So any exposure to new stuff is appreciated.

Sounds like you might get buried with this one. The one time I touched a butterfly knife I quickly cut my hand, I will leave these for the experts.

Where about is this beauty located? It looks like old man of the woods(Strobilomyces strobilaceus) to me.

Edit- Ehhhh, I think I am misseeing the texture I thought was there. I will defer to those under me. Also no veil remnants so I will put a nail in the old man coffin.

If you get a spore print that would help as well.
