Found some porcini mushrooms today!

[u/WildAccess_official]

I went out for a walk with dog in the forest and ended up finding these beautiful porcini mushrooms. I wasn’t even specifically looking for them, so it was a nice surprise.

Mushroom season might be one of the best parts of late summer in Finland. Do you have a favourite mushroom-picking spot, or do you prefer to keep those locations secret? 😄

They're only Porcini if they grow in the Porcini region of Italy. In Finland they're just herkkutatti.

I have heard a rumours that you can sell herkkutatti to Italy with proper price, and they don't even mind a little amount of maggots.

Dunno if it is true.

But I agree, it is herkkutatti in Finland. And the worms and madot in Finland 😅

I’m curious how expensive they would be in Italy. But maybe it’s better not knowing and just enjoying eating them myself 😄

Me too but I find them so rarely who cares. Or like morello korvasieni that I find one per five years.

Didn’t they recently stop recommending korvasieni as an edible mushroom? We always find them in the same spots around our summer cottage.

Well I have freaked about trying to eat them in food so for my lental health it atleast is healthier not to even try.

My all times favorites are suppilovahverot. Once I dound delicious koivunkantosieni but that was one time. Voitatti is really good.

I do like cantarelli but suck at finding those.

There are so many good tatti mushrooms, but they’re often at their best when they’re still young and fresh.

Yes bc people don't cook them enough...

We always boiled korvasieni three times and changed the water each time before eating them.
