This beautiful wild mashroom was watched on my FB profile by the entire world ;) It was spotted beneath one of our hammocks. At first we thought it was from the Boletus family but no, it is much more common Leccinum scabrum commonly known as birch bolete as it only grows under birch trees. No wonder it chose our birch corner in the garden :D We pick these mashrooms every year in our garden and I would usually add them when making scrambled eggs but this one was exceptionally handsome and deserved a special treatment - I had it slowly fried in butter with a bit of onion and a pinch of salt. Yummy!
