What are examples of bolete species that are only edible if boiled? I know of a lot that are only edible if well cooked, but haven't heard of any that are only edible if specifically boiled. (I'm from New England / mid-Atlantic though, so I only know the ones around here.)
- pvaldes 8y agoBoletus erythropus, but eating Boletus with red pores is a bad idea. The venomous species share this feature. In theory, Is said that venomous boletus boiled are less toxic, but they still have unpleasant effects.
- Alex3917 8y agoInteresting. Yeah I've never used the regional bolete rules-of-thumb (not red/orange pored, not fast blueing, not B. huronensis) to decide whether or not to eat something. I think I need to just go take the Eagle Hill bolete class with the Bessettes one year if they keep offering it, otherwise I feel like they're just too hard to really ID beyond the handful of really easy ones.
