you were very successful. i only see one or two per year where i live. i often have to resort to boletes which i've never been able to cook without ending up with something gelatinous.
Very lucky yes! And I got them all in the span of 20 minutes (after 2 hours of looking for ceps but only finding boletes but didn't pick most of them because I don't usually like them), And I found half of them from only 1 tree!!
The boletes I picked were quite young and not too gelatinous and worm-free this time. I ate them in risotto and it was quite nice (I should have picked more haha).
I also found a meripilus giganteus (Could have been Grifola frondosa, No idea lol) that I didn't pick, but will probably try eating next time.
