when there are more seteros, that mushrooms!

This is my fave mushroom to find (not necessarily the fave to shoot, or cook, note that!). The name is Léccinum aurantíacum, or Boletus aurantiacus. In Russian it is being named as: Подоси́новик, красный гриб, красноголо́вик, оси́новик, красюк, красник или красик.

This one we harvested during our leizure trip to the Pravdinskoe lake, and the memorable thing is, that shroom was the only one we found, at all. He was the only one who decided to show up us.

This one goes as a bonus,-- me showing a masterclass to the few apprentices how to operate a campfire.

Did you cook it on a fire?

No! it was a trip to our friends country house (their nice blonde babies!) and we cooked it there, at home. The campfire -- is ... a campfire! for the love of the fire, not for cooking at all :) glad you enjoyed this little redhead series.
I copied some old files from backups to my HD. And know what? they look awful! most of them. from the beginning, when I used kit 17-55 lens, to my fixed 50mm 1.8 lens - I was hunting for 'more sharpness and detalisation' so I shamelessly put the aperture to 4 or 5.6 - and with timings, accordingly, 1/2 and 1/3 ... imagine what I was getting, especially indoors... looks like, I had a long way for photography skills.... XD

Cats?

@ewkaw, for Qurator's Monday, I definitely have one!

Nice plump boletes. I read that these guys also grow here. I'll have to keep an eye out now, seems like the rough looking stem and orange cap are good identifying features. How does it's taste compare to king bolete?

Encrust them in green curry, no chance to taste the mushroom since your mouth is on fire.

That must be the tallest, well formed mushroom I have ever seen, what a find!

Feed the whole family on a big mushroom like that, yes open fires always the best fun as well, don't need an excuse for that being outdoors.
