Description

This, ladies and gentlemen, is my very first porcini. I'd heard they were blooming in Salt Point last weekend, so I figured I better get up there before they were gone. Lo and behold, I actually found some of these legendary mushrooms. These are some of the most prized mushrooms by collectors and chefs, and for good reason: they are delicious. They also have a billion names (king bolete, cepe) and there ain't nothing wrong with that.
