Summer bolete

Also known as: Summer king bolete

The summer bolete is very similar in appearance to the famous Cep (Boletus edulis), but it differs from it by its "swollen" stem and the absence of a white edge around the cap rim. As its name implies, the summer bolete occurs during the summer months, after very hot and humid weather.
