TOADSTOOLS & BIRDS

My voice / Becomes the wind / Mushroom-hunting . . . . . . . . . 19th century haiku by Japanese poet MASAOKA SHIKI [1867-1902]
BOLETES - Produce spores on the underside from spongy tube-like structures, however they are not all named 'Boletus'. Unless I have been looking up
out-of-date classifications then we have Leccinum and Suillus as well, and even stranger the Paxillus, which don't even have pores but gills like Agarics.
Aren't experts grand to amateurs
