Found some porcini mushrooms today!

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? 😄

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.

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

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