| | | Three ID's from a newbie
Hi everyone. Found these in the woods today. I think one is a cep which I'm quite excited about. It was located at the foot of some Beech trees. No Idea about the other two.
I was looking for Chanterelles. My friend in Sweden picks them by the bucket load starting in august. What is the best time to find them in the uk?

hi and welcome to WAB
it might be an idea to check out these stickies . . . . That time of year again Is my fungus edible or psychotic requests
this website is more about the study of fungi than picking them "by the bucket-load" really
oh - and yes, one of those is indeed a Boletus edulis

Thanks for the reply Chris. My OP wasn't worded very well. When I said "By the bucket load" I was merely stating they were abundant where my friend lives and wondered if they were common here. It was an unfortunate choice of phrase. I'm only interested id ID really! |

Ok 
the left hand one is Suillus luteus and I think the middle one is in the Boletus erythropus / luridiformis complex - there are others on WAB who know their boletes better than I do, mind
cheers
Chris

Nice find I am off to find some ceps in a woodland near me today as we have had some rain and it seems perfect weather for finding some. |

Sadly the Boletus edulis was full of maggots. Very disappointed! |

At risk of upsetting eunatural, i am going to make a comment here.
I, and I'm sure many other regular fungi wabbers, are very keen to advise the inexperienced who have a genuine interest in fungi other than merely for culinary use. The culinary aspect of fungi seems to be all eunatural talks about since she joined WAB and I honestly do not feel any inclination to help such a person if it is only going to assist them to raid the woodlands even more.
Neil.

OK, I have just come upon a recent post re: Earthball identification, so I take back what I wrote above.
Sorry Tracey.
