Dear Colleagues, what do yu call these in English? I �ve found so many variants, but since they are my favourite mushrooms, I need to know what people in different countries call them :) |

Boletus in English, I think.
Baravykas in Lithuanian.

Thanks for narrowing it down, Mary. "Penny bun mushrooms" is one name in the US, but they are more commonly called "porcini mushrooms". We usually find them dried in the grocery stores, rather than fresh. However, lately more stores carry a variety of mushrooms. 20 years ago, white button mushrooms were all that could be found in a grocery store. As Silvanija said, their botanical name is "boletus".

These looked like toadstools to me and I got a belly ache just looking at them   So I �ve googled them and they are indeed porcini (pronounced in the Italian way - porcheeny) mushrooms. So well done, guys on naming them! I must say, I �ve never seen them fresh in shops and you �d have to visit a big store even to get them dried and they are really expensive. I �m a mushroom-lover though, so I �ll be after some now! Edit: I live in the north of England.

Mushroom picking is a popular hobby around here, as well as in Russia and Lithuania, I suppose. You can make delicious soup or sauce with this particular kind. You can find them fresh in the market or in the forest. They �re my favourite. |

As far as I know, the British and Americans don �t really know the differences between most "wild mushrooms" and end up calling all of them "wild mushrooms". |
