Mushrooms

Torino ( Italy) - a street market

I could not help stopping by this unpretentious stall in a street market.
This kind of wild mushrooms is a delicacy!
Boletus Mushroom
A variety of mushroom that includes over 100 different species, most edible but also some are poisonous. The boletus mushrooms are often identified by their olive to brown colored spore prints (similar to fingerprinting, spore prints are used as an identification method of capturing a spore appearance), their dense and solid stems, and their round-formed cap. Some of the common varieties include the bay boletus, the birch boletus and the red-cracked boletus.
