Foraged porcini mushrooms
My aunt knows someone who has foraged for years and got to accompany him in the Black Forest to collect Boletus edulis (known as Steinpilz in Germany).

Some mushroom types are Boletus edulis, Boletus pinophilus, Boletus rhodopurpureus, Cyanoboletus pulverulentus, Xerocomus badius.](https://assets.chrisruppel.com/img/img@1280/steinpilz-3.jpeg)
