Boletus
   An edible mushroom. Any of a large number of mushrooms having pores and not gills on the underside of the cap. The famous French cèpe, generally available in this country as a dried mushroom, is a boletus. Many of members of the boletus family are edible and choice, and grow wild in many areas of the country. You can eat young boletus raw, thinly sliced, and drizzled with olive oil, lemon juice and flakes of Parmesan Cheese. No Bolete with red or orange pores and flesh that bruises blue should be eaten.
