Bolete mushroom is a mushroom that grows in a symbiotic relationship with the roots of suitable host plants and in autumn can be found fruiting on the soil around them.
Common names include cep and penny bun mushroom (English), steinpilz (German), cepe de Bordeaux (French), porcino (Italian), zhutui mo (North China) and dajiao gu (South China).
Mushrooms of these fungi have a very strong flavour and unlike most mushrooms maintain their flavour after drying or cooking at autoclave temperatures.
