Where to look: bay 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 cooked. The pores and flesh may turn blue when bruised or cut; this is normal. Bay Bolete can accumulate radiocaesium more readily than some other boletes. In areas where local authorities issue advice about radioactive contamination, follow that advice and consider choosing other species. Avoid polluted ground such as roadsides and former industrial sites.

Bay Bolete: the species in brief

How to tell it

The cap is chestnut to bay brown, usually dry or slightly velvety. The pores are pale when young and bruise blue-green when pressed. The stem is fairly even and lacks the raised net-like pattern seen on Penny Bun.

Where it grows

Mostly in coniferous woodland, especially with pine and spruce, often among moss and leaf litter. Widespread across Europe.

In the kitchen

Good fried, dried or preserved. The blue colour usually fades during cooking.

Nutrition

Low in calories and a modest source of protein. Values vary with age, water content and growing conditions.
