Porcini (Boletus edulis) Mushroom?

At £60 a Kilo I hope so

Obviously I spelt Porcini wrong - should have gone for Cep

Many thanks all (and another thank to Big Al for correcting my speeling - take it you know your mushrooms? ).

Found them within 200 yards of my local pub and showed them to the chef who said "look like Ceps to me". Then about half hour later and after reading your replies the head barman a good friend of mine confirmed they are indeed Brown Birch Bolete (never new there was a difference myself).

Any how they'll be fried in olive oil and butter tomorrow and I've readied the dehydrator (Wifey bought this a couple of years ago and used once!!! ) as I think I know where there is loads more.

Whatever they were they were stonking

Boletes are pretty safe as mushrooms go. While there are some in the UK that are inedible, there's only one that will make you ill, it's rare, it's easily identified, and while the symptoms are unpleasant it's unlikely to kill you.
