Ah, boletus edulis, or porcini, found in pine forests.

Goes nice with bacon, sausage and eggs.

Yes. They are edible and very highly prized. The cap can grow up to 10 inches in diameter, although the smaller ones tend to be better flavoured.

Any way you like, although mushrooms have a better flavour if only lightly cooked.

I daren't touch a Mars bar at any time.

If you want to deep-fry them, use a chip-pan with a basket. Get the oil smoking-hot and lower the basket into the oil for about 30 seconds max.
That will seal the outside of the mushroom before the water content is boiled off.

Alternatively, just brush the inside of a non-stick fryingpan (a steel one if you've got one) with oil or a couple of squirts of sunflower-oil spray. Cook on a low heat with a lid on the pan, until the mushrooms have just lost their opaque appearance. They will be cooked but will retain the succulence and all of the flavour.

If you Fry them Scott, make sure you get a big Frying Pan.

If it's too small, you will find there is not Mushroom in there .. .

yes, very highly prized mushroom. I usually slice them and fry in a little butter.... lovely!

this year has not been a good one for penny buns... one year I picked over a dozen.

funnily enough, I saw plenty of these...
