Edible and mild in flavour but the flesh turns soft and slightly slimy when cooked, so it is best used young and firm. It works in mixed mushroom dishes, soups and dried for stock rather than as a fried mushroom on its own.
Easily told from other Leccinum such as the orange birch bolete by its dull brown cap. It has no deadly lookalikes, but as a bolete only ever pick firm specimens, since old soft ones cause stomach upsets, and avoid any bolete with red or orange pores and blue-staining flesh.
Jämtland is an inland province built around the great lake Storsjön, where rolling forested hills and river valleys rise westward into the bare alpine fells along the Norwegian border. Between the woods lie open bogs, mires and grazing pastures, with no coastline anywhere in the region. The land is dominated by boreal taiga of Norway spruce and Scots pine, mixed with birch and the mountain birch belt at higher elevations. Spruce stands, mossy pine heaths and damp birch woodland are the prime ground for chanterelles, boletes and other porcini-family mushrooms.
The climate is continental and subarctic, with long cold winters, short cool summers and a brief growing season. Rainfall comes mainly in late summer, and the moist, cool autumn nights suit fungi well even if the season is short. Foraging here means vast, lightly populated forest with generous space and the right to roam, though the harvest window is narrow and weather-dependent. Expect chanterelles and boletes in good years, with the best picking from August into a frost-shortened September.
