Irma Brandt was the lucky one who came home with this Boletus edulis, a choice edible mushroom. She brought it over and Rick weighed it. It was a mighty four pounds. When Irma sliced it for drying she found no bugs at all. That's a lot of porcini mushrooms for the months to come!
In the picture Irma is peeking out behind the big 'shroom. She is also holding a more normal-sized Bolete.

That can't be real! What a find!

I could not believe my eyes, Karen. I've never seen one even close to that size. But I got to hold it and feel how firm it was. Pretty amazing!
