In this country, the porcini mushroom is known and valued as a fungus found in nature and also as a commercially cultivated mushroom. However, when collecting, breeding and cultivating porcini mushrooms, a whole range of species belong to the genus.
The species of the genus Boletus
The most well-known representatives of the porcini include the common porcini, the bronze boletus and the oak porcini. Less well known, but just as valued, are the birch bolete and the red-brown pine bolete, both of which occur in the root area of the tree species that give them their name.
tips and tricks
The name of the porcini mushroom probably derives from the fact that the species grouped under this name have a firmer fruiting body than other types of mushrooms.
