Found growing alongside a road in Cornwall. 10 -12 inches in diameter at widest point. Very spongy all over, including stem. There was a smaller, presumably younger one nearby, same colour, more domed in shape, not spongy.  
Something thinks it's good to eat, whatever it is!  |

Wish I'd picked the smaller one now! |

By the look of the surrounding habitat, we can see that the area is dehydrated. Most fungi lose some of their identifying characteristics when the conditions change mid-growth, and B. edulis is no exception Remember just how variable fungi can be! To add, check out the size of that badboy Hama, it's 10-12 inches across. You find me a Bay Bolete that large and I'll buy you a pint fella
