Porcini Mushrooms

Fresh Domestic Boletes Mushrooms, they grow wild.  Not to be mistaken for imported European Porcini, these have a lighter and more mild flavor and aroma. They are known in most countries, and each has a different name for them. This is a great mushroom. It looks like baked bread on the cap. We must slice them in half to inspect for pests. We cannot be 100% sure that they will be free of pests.  This is a perishable item and it must be refrigerated upon arrival. We suggest putting them into a strainer in the product compartment in your refrigerator. Do not store in plastic, they need air circulation. We carry frozen european porcini  and frozen domestic porcini.
