Well,
lkast summer in Thailand we took an excursion northeast of Bangkok where we found many Boletus edulis and saw some native Thai selling them along the road.
Me, my collegue form the University and three students all went picking mushroms for the University.
Here are the results of our labors.
Here between a grove of trees is where me, my colleague and the students gathered our fungi form,
can anyone here tell me what kind of trees those are int he image,

Some freshly picked laying on the ground boletes.

Here we have a loal betel nut chewing mama selling boletus shrooms from the ground in front of her home int he thicket.

And here is what I gathered from the grove.

What one of the students collected.

Back int he lab at the department of microbiology, One student who is working with me on the cultivation and chemic stry of the Thai and cambodian shrooms, proudly holds up a nice cluster of Boletus mushrooms .

Here is an image of a good meaty edible bolete in the black box.

Another small Cluster of three shrooms.

A close up of the bottom of the cap.

Another grouping of Boletes.

Another view of the above image.

AS display of that grouping.

And here I have began to place fragments of the porous bottom section of the cap into the stubs to look at the spores in the Scanning Elctron Microscopy.

And here is the SEM of the spores of Boletus edulis magnified 2,000 times their natural size.

and finally we come to the end of the day with a small patch of plurotus mushrooms growing on a log in the thicket.

And thus another day of the great c hunt comes to an abrupt close at the end of the day,
have a shroomy day,
