I think it looks delicious though.

Hypholoma fasciculare

The edible species is Hypholoma capnoides which looks quite similar.

    The big identification factor is that fasciculare is very bitter! I love Hypholoma lateritium and that’s a trick I learned to help distinguish them.

      Hypholoma lateritium

      Do you mean Hypholoma capnoides? H. lateritium tastes bitter (and is poisonous) as well I’m pretty sure.

      Hmm thanks, you made me read up on the topic some more. If I come across some capnoides I think I will try and identify them with certainty! The taste is indeed a pretty fail proof factor. And actually it should even be possible to identify them visually.

      I am always a little scared when leaving the relatively safe terrain of my beloved boletes.
