Boletes are pretty tricky. Where I'm at there areat least 40 different species and they seem to grow in one off batches so I rarely can get a good id on them and many look exactly the same. I got tricked into cooking a bitter bolete that looked like an edible white king bolete lol, tasted like burnt rubber and fish lol.

That sounds unpleasant! Is it true you can taste test russulas and if they're spicy/bitter their inedible?
Yeah russulas are generally easy to identify by their color. There are a couple good edible ones here a green cracked one that you can eat raw and a purple one that requires a bit of cooking. The tan or brown ones taste bad and the red ones give you a stomach ache.
