Fruits after warm, humid spells when soil temperatures sit in the mid teens Celsius and a good soaking rain follows a warm period. A typical trigger is heavy rain after several warm days, with flushes appearing roughly one to two weeks later.
Late summer into autumn, roughly August to November in Britain and Ireland.
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.
Keep fresh caps in a paper bag in the fridge and use within a couple of days, as they spoil and get wormy fast. Slicing and drying is the classic long term method; they also freeze well if briefly sauteed first.
Slice young firm caps thin and fry in butter with garlic and parsley, or add to risotto and pasta sauces. Older or wormy specimens are best dried and ground into a powder to deepen stocks, soups and gravies.
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.
