I thought I'd struck gold in a forest I'd not been to before. Big fat golden boletes everywhere!
I got a carrier bag full, then brought them home for detailed ID in a far better light than the dusk forest.
I was so disappointed to have collected the bitter boletes. I gave them a nibble hoping for the best and yes they tasted like chewing aspirin.
It's been known that they are a ruiner of many a stew, but I wondered if anyone has maybe soaked and/or cooked them with numerous changes of water and successfully removed the bitterness? Or if they have any other uses for them?
