Birch Bolete Mushroom | Identification and Cooking

I was lucky to find many Birch Boletes this season. The ones featured in this video I believe are Orange Birch Boletes. Through the progressing season I found a variety of Orange and Brown Boletes. Even one with distinctive black inky pores that stained my skin. Apart from that they looked exactly the same as the ones featured in my video. I have thus concluded there must be many variations within the Orange/Brown Birch Bolete group.
It is thought to cause nausea and sickness if not properly cooked. I always ate it very well fried and did not feel this effect. I actually found it more delicious than the Cep!
Do not consume any mushrooms unless accompanied and confirmed by an expert that it is edible. Only eat a small amount if it is your first time to see how your body reacts.

Fantastic and thank you for such useful advice. I love these.

Great choice and find of mushrooms... all very delicious, great recipe too. Simple but perfect. .. Just returned from two weeks in Scotland, abundant chanterelles, orange birch boletes a little past their best.

[@JamieKunka]

Hope you had a nice time in Scotland!

[@thecontentedyogini3215]

I’ve just found some and will try your recipe ... even have done chanterelles too 😃

[@JamieKunka]

That's great! What colour where the pores on your Birch Bolete?

[@madalintare111]

Very nice, i like them, they teast verry good

[@AspenWoods217]

Maybe compare it to a birch bolete when you can. Both edible but kings are preferred

[@lsd25records]

i have plenty of orange cap scabers in my yard ..but i am interested in positive id for birch bolete..

[@incanada83]

Thanks for the video but I have a question; the very young birch boletes (those just emerging from the ground, about 2"-3" in height, with thick "trunks" but small caps) are very dark in color under the caps. Are those "babies" the same boletes?
Thank you :-)

[@JamieKunka]

Are they only black underneath and almost leave a dark stain on your finger? I have found some of those before as well here in the forest but I could not find any literature concerning their dark underside. Must be another variety or perhaps they are just dark when they are young. Keep observing them and don't let the slugs eat them all before you do!

@@JamieKunkaI think it’s when they get older they get a bit infested with grubs.
I remove the spongy spores.
You can tell which is good and not so,?.
Best dried in my novice opinion and added with other nice edible fungi

[@bca-biciclindcuaxel7527]

It is normal for a bolete to turn a blue when boiled and then dark ? You can enter my community page, i even pun some picture whith the mushrooms there. Ty !

[@JamieKunka]

Hi! Yes the ones I’ve cooked do turn blue/grey!
