Meet Lilac Porcini! Learn to ID & Harvest This Edible Woodland Delight
Learn to ID & harvest Lilac Porcini aka Lilac Bolete, this wild gourmet mushroom, scientifically called Boletus separans of the Boletaceae family. It’s a very close cousin of Boletus edulis, “The Porcini”.
Yes (!), we can eat this gourmet treasure, but we must key it out with 100% accuracy!
You’ll find this prize growing singly, scattered or in clusters in mixed woods; typically hardwoods, especially w/ oaks, and in our case hickory and maple trees too. They are mycorrhizal fungi, growing directly out of the ground.
Season: Late spring, summer, fall.
Range: Widely distributed in Eastern North America.
Key Identifying Features:
Cap: Color Range-creamy white, pinkish brown, lilac brown, reddish brown to dark purple; Texture-dry, velvety, glabrous, although slightly sticky when young; Shape-convex; Size-1.5-8 inches wide.
Pore Surface (note does not have gills like typical mushroom): white when young then yellow to ocher brown with age. Does not stain blue!
Stem (stipe): 1.5-4.5 inches tall by .5-2 inches thick; resembles cap color; solid and white inside. Reticulated: has a fishnet stocking-look over part or most of its stalk.
Flesh of cap and stem: white and does not stain.
Taste: mild or nutty and sweet.
Spore print: brownish ocher-pale reddish brown.
Do the ammonia test: lilac colored areas on the mushroom will turn aquamarine with a drop of ammonia.
MUSHROOM SERIOUSNESS: A mushroom mistake can be fatal. Please triple confirm your ID, ideally with an experienced mushroomer in person, before consuming any wild fungi.
Having heralded that warning, what mushrooms have you been finding lately?
Grateful to the fungi!

Thanks!
Looks like the deer took a chomp out of one of them.
Ha, perhaps, or a squirrel.
we cantget amonia in canada no clue why
Hmmm..... strange...?
@@DinaFalconi it is used for free basing we in a state of emergency due to the drug pandemic It's illegal to sell pure ammonia here. You won't find it in any major chains your best bet would be Amazon or taking a trip to the boarder but even then you would have to smuggle it back in.
pure gum essence turpentine was 10 x the price ya'll pay back when i wanted it for parasites
Thank you, interesting....@@LHBosma
Any worm damage ❔
A bit of slug damage on the stipe, but otherwise not much insect damage.
