And it was a total mushroom paradise with dozens of porcini (aka Ling Bolete or Boletus edulis) – the choicest mushroom of the Nordic forests – everywhere. Several other mushroom species as well – red-capped scaber stalk (aka Podosinovik or Leccinum vulpinum, velvet bolete (aka Mohovik or Suillus variegatus), slippery jacks (aka Maslyonok or Suillus luteus), brown birch bolete mushroom (aka Podberiozovik or Leccinum scabrum), and many others.
