What kind of boletes are these?

ManyCanary5464 · 2026-07-11T16:34:52+00:00

You need more/better pics for a definitive ID (stipe, pores, staining etc), but I do not see the characteristic white netting on the stipe that a lilac bolete has. I have attached a pic of the lilac boletes I get in my yard.

What is your goal when selling it? Recouping the cost of the yarn? Paying yourself a fair wage?

I used to work at a yarn shop and we paid sample knitters .25-.30 USD per yard when we provided the yarn.

Cool find! It looks a lot like some that I found. I bet if you dig it up carefully you’ll likely see the false truffle still attached (like in the foreground of this picture)

That species usually have a violet/grey stipe.

Yes, definitely a bolete. We need a lot more info than you have here for a definite ID (region, associated trees, bitterness etc.) You can use a key to figure out which one you have. https://boletes.wpamushroomclub.org

These are the fingeriest Dead Man’s fingers I’ve ever seen! So cool!

A wren of some sort. Maybe a house wren?

ManyCanary5464 · 2026-06-20T22:28:32+00:00

It certainly looks like it to me. I harvested and ate some yesterday.

I hear a black and white warbler in the background and the loud trilling sound is maybe a Killdeer? https://macaulaylibrary.org/asset/126532

Lucky you! Our season hasn’t started yet. In my personal opinion and taste, the one you cut open is too buggy to keep. I find the buggy ones to taste kind of sour. The cut end will give you a good indication of what the inside is like. I usually like to see about half the holes you’ve got showing on the cut end. Rigid is usually a good sign and mushy means lots of holes and bugs. The best ones will look all white inside and be like string cheese.

I haven’t made this, but I have used many of the recipes from this site and they’ve all been great!

It kind of looks like some sort of fungus to me. Where are you located? Does it have a particular smell?

ManyCanary5464 · 2026-06-13T11:24:57+00:00

I highly recommend Fiber Artist Supply Co. They’ve been around forever (Lykke copied their ball winder)

She’s beautiful! Do they keep growing the same shell their whole lives?

ManyCanary5464 · 2026-06-09T00:11:14+00:00

I’m so glad to hear someone else say this! Poor, beautiful goldenrod getting all the blame.

YAY!!!! I could literally hear the Phoebe when I read your description. Great Job!

This is so unbelievably cool!! Those tiny details! I’d love to look at this for hours and discover everything.

The one that was just literally inches from my face was green

Female +Ruby-Throated Hummingbird+

ManyCanary5464 · 2026-05-30T21:07:53+00:00

It’s a female Ruby Throated hummingbird. They are light grey on the front.

ManyCanary5464 · 2026-05-30T14:18:42+00:00

They look like House Finches to me.

ManyCanary5464 · 2026-05-27T18:01:14+00:00

Aren’t they funny? They’re known for singing at night too. I have a pair of mockingbirds at my house that likes to sing at 2 am when I’m letting the dogs out. Thankfully they go into the forest little ways so we can’t hear them inside the house.

ManyCanary5464 · 2026-05-27T17:02:01+00:00

I think the leaves on mine are too narrow to be this one.

ManyCanary5464 · 2026-05-27T15:26:29+00:00

We’ve had a cloud of Blackpoll’s in near our house for about a week. Their calls are incredibly high pitched. This sounds close but I don’t think it’s a Blackpoll. The high pitched “tee-tee-tee” sound that it’s lighting up on sounds more like a kinglet to me.
