Where to look: brown birch bolete

A field over the measurement network. The colour here is for the leading species at each point, not for this one; a per-species layer is computed for one region so far.

About the species. Edible when correctly identified and thoroughly cooked. Older specimens become soft and spongy and are often damaged by larvae, so young, firm fruitbodies are preferable.

Brown Birch Bolete: the species in brief

How to tell it

A slender bolete with a grey-brown to brown cap and a pale stem covered in dark scab-like scales. The flesh may slowly turn grey after cutting.

Where it grows

Always associated with birch. It occurs in woodland, heaths, parks and along woodland rides wherever birch is established.

In the kitchen

Good fried, in soups or dried. Older pore layers are often removed because they become soft during cooking.

Nutrition

Low in calories with a modest amount of protein.
