Hallo Dinesh ji,
I agree with Yazdi ji. It is an old specimen in the foto.
When we go on mushroom outings, the experts take the mushroom out of the
soil, by turning it a bit so that the whole mushroom with the root comes
out. Then the upperside, the downside, the stem, the ring if it is there, if
the ring is movable up and down the stem, the base of the stem (root) and
such things are observed. Moreover the smell, the color, how the cap reacts
when pressed with a finger, whether it changes the color and how the flesh
looks like when the cap is cut, all these things are discussed when
determining the mushroom.
Important thing is that after determining the id of the mushroom, our
experts put the mushrooms back in the original place and don't throw away
somewhere around.
Mushroom searching and eating is more popular in the european mainland so I
find not many Mushroom information in english.
I have a request to mushroom-mailers. Please send as much information as
possible. Let us wait what experts say.
I guess your mushroom is boletus sp. perhaps mirabilis?
Let us wait what experts say.
Regards
Nalini

mushroom
Dear Valke Ji,
It has an over fermented smell because it is old not fresh. If you are
not careful, it will be full of tiny worms. I have relied on my
tribals. When they can have it so could I. In fact no other community
other than the tribals have it. They look down upon the people who
consume it. No such inhibitions with me. I have consumed quite a few
things that the others do not.
Regards
Yazdy.

... one of the rare times, me mentioning about fragrance.
Just could not help getting the foetid smell while taking close-up of the
mushroom.
It was like an over-fermented loaf of bread ... Yazdi ji, ... indeed,
eating
this mushroom would require lot of guts !!
Regards.

I would not know about its identity, but the tribals eat it. I have
tried it and it does taste very good.
Shall try to find out its identity.
