Found some matsutake more today, as well Boletus pinophilus, Russula spp., Leccinum spp. and Cortinarius (Rozites) caperatus. Some of the yield...

Nice collection! We call Cortinarius caperatus Rimsopp here (Rime Mushroom) and some people here consider this the best tasting of all Fungi. Unfortunately it's a highland species here and it was also the Fungus with the highest radioactivity levels in this area after the Tsjernobyl accident, so I've actually never tried this one... One of my fungi books says that it smells of freshly baked bread!

This one was captured in a beech forest here in Lancashire on Thursday.

The famous matsutake, found only one :/ But lots of Boletus pinophilus. It´s risotto day today, with white wine of course.

I will take a look in the little pinewood i have. It woud be great to find one (and to brag to Japanese friends  ;D )
Matsu-take means pine-fungus by the way.
Boletus edulis just started here.
