Krystyna – thanks. See, this is why I don’t go mushroom picking in the woods. God only knows what I’d bring back.

these are not matsutake although another type of choice mushroom (lactarius deliciosus) from the lactarius genus, in Polish rydze, in my opinion way better than matsutake and possibly harder to find. No wonder you liked it. The orange stained with green and great smell are give aways.

As my Spanish has gotten better, and I’ve gone back and examined various mushrooms and such more, I’ve realized that these hongos pinos are not true Japanese matsutake pine mushrooms, but just simply “pine mushrooms”, sometimes called the “American matsutake”, and is a related species. Still a great price!
