I am drying most of my Boletes - should have my jars filled for the mushroom free months. Don't forget mushrooms are 95% water so they shrink hugely in the drying process. Having some with various meals. Also done a large batch of soup which is frozen.
A little slug nibbling is not a problem - maggots are much worse & a bad infestation means throwing the shroom away. Fortunately this late in the year the maggots are few if at all.
I like your pictures of the Amanitas Bubble. I saw plenty while on my recent foraging trips & they are spectacularly beautiful - & sometimes found near Ceps too as you say.
todays haul,first lot bay boletes is breakfast today,second is dinner today and third are for drying.Bit cold in the forest today fog and a 'touch of frost'.
those bays were lovely ,just sauteed in good olive oil ,salt and pepper and three teaspoons of my homemade chilli sauce[chilli garlic, tomatoes little wine vinegar] and fresh toast ,no herbs ,no eggs.A little parmesan or halloumi would have made it a royal dish.I love their slimy texture ,my wife hates it!!!
