Porcini mushrooms
Porcini mushrooms, also known as king boletes, are prized and expensive mushrooms that grow in coniferous and deciduous forests, especially under pine, spruce, and beech trees, from late summer to early winter. They have a nutty and earthy flavor and a meaty and firm texture. They are also excellent for drying and using in various dishes. I love to freeze porcini mushrooms raw and use them frozen in dishes like stews.
