Porcini?

[Brandbll]

This is in northern Wisconsin. Few of them dotted around in grass and other vegetation, near a big pine. One of them is like 7 inches in diameter and obviously wormy as . This looked pretty fresh though. The city open picture is a day later so not looking as fresh. Really appreciate your insights.

If Porcini are too wormy, I slice them thin and dehydrate them. Worms fall out and the sliced pieces are fine for eating after rehydration.

Skeptical? Have a look at any commercially sold dried Porcini. Most have obvious worm holes in them but no worms

Just the thought of worms wiggling out of my mushrooms makes me, a bit squirmy.  I once was watching a cooking show about a chef in France.  Slices into the damn bolete and it’s just squirming alive with maggots - I kid you not.  Off into the pot it went!

 

But nice looking porcini but that cap strikes me a little different - though it’s late in the night.  Hard to get them in my area before the bugs do - even at that size 😑
