Red Cracking Bolete: the species in brief
How to tell it
A small bolete with a dry, velvety olive-brown cap. As the cap expands it often cracks, revealing pinkish or reddish flesh beneath. The pores are yellow and bruise blue-green.
Where it grows
In broadleaved and mixed woodland, on mossy banks, woodland edges and beside tracks.
In the kitchen
Best used young. It can be fried or added to mixed mushroom dishes but is softer and less strongly flavoured than Penny Bun.
Nutrition
Low in calories.
