Brown bun shaped cap, often greasy when damp. The underside has a sponge of pores, white at first then turning yellowish to olive, never red. The thick bulbous stem is pale with a fine raised white network near the top, and the flesh is white and does not change colour when cut. Smell is pleasant and nutty.
Often shares ground with chanterelles, other boletes like the bay bolete, and amanitas including the toxic fly agaric and death cap, so identify everything carefully. The reddish fly agaric under birch and pine is a useful indicator that conditions may suit cep nearby.
One of the finest edible mushrooms, with a deep savoury nutty flavour. Excellent fresh in risotto, sauces and fried in butter, and it dries very well to concentrate the flavour for stocks and soups.
Check around the bases of host trees and along sunlit forest edges, returning to productive spots a few days apart through the flush. Cut or twist the stem cleanly, slice each cap to check for maggots, and take only young specimens with white firm flesh.
Can be confused with the bitter bolete (Tylopilus felleus), which has a darker net on the stem, pinkish pores when mature and a strongly bitter taste, and with red pored boletes. Avoid any bolete with red or orange pores or flesh that stains strongly blue.
