diana Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 For Austroboletus gracilis shouldn't the tubes be deeper? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 I agree with Diana. Caps of A. gracilis should consist mostly of tubes. I think these may be Tylopilus ferrugineus (or something close to this species). T. indecisus is another possibility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunShroomer3578 Posted September 10, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 I think there are two different species pictured now that I reading further on ME. Note the rolled margin on some and not the others. Also these were found in wooded areas and not grassy areas Maybe Tylopilus badiceps also.

rob Posted September 10, 2018 Report Share Posted September 10, 2018 I've always found ab gracilis with hemlock and with a far longer and narrower stipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 The mature pores of A. gracilis have a pinkish color. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunShroomer3578 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Thanks everyone. Anyone have experience with edibility ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 The non-bitter Tylopilus species like T. ferrugineus and T. badiceps are okay edibles (IMO). Some people find them to be slightly bitter. I suppose you could eat A. gracilis, except the caps are mostly tubes. So, I'd expect the texture to be not real good for these. Flesh in the stalks is not very dense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CajunShroomer3578 Posted September 11, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 Good deal ........ I sautéed them with onions and bell peppers, tossed in some quinoa and cooked down with chicken broth. Pretty tasty actually Thanks again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diana Posted September 11, 2018 Report Share Posted September 11, 2018 I'm so afraid that I may develop a taste for bitter. Even T Felleus. They are so pretty and hope springs eternal -- I taste to make sure. Remember your first cup of coffee, first beer, first whatever? But they grew on you, right? Lordy, don't let this happen to me! 😱 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lordy, don't let this happen to me! 😱 After last years run in with extremely bitter chanterelles, lions mane , and L. Indigo..... I was convinced that my taste buds completely switched. Everything I enjoyed eating,mostly wild edibles,tasted horrible(super bitter). At that very moment I was struck with the overwhelming feeling that I will never be able to enjoy wild mushrooms again !!! Very depressing. I was actually to the point where I said the heck with it. I’m done with this hobby. For whatever reason I chose to give it another go. So here I am !! The other thing I came up with is that I left the mushrooms in the fridge too long before preparing and they turned bitter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
