White ring, you say? I honestly didn't know that.
IRL it's easier to tell mushrooms apart but I will often take photos and then post them like 2 years later and I no longer remember what is what , and colors in photos are misleading. Edulis and pinophilus have also been confusing to me because of the fact that we mostly have only pine trees around here and practically no fir trees, and if I'm not mistaking, edulis tend to grow closer to fir trees.

in northern countries pinophilus is seldom
I'm sure it is Boletus edulis

The Mushroom site about mushrooms in my country would disagree, though, it says "It is widespread in coastal areas" ( www.fungi.lv/boletus_pinophilu…), and my woods could be considered pretty close to the Baltic Sea. It's mostly pines and almost dune-like sandy hills here.
Anyways, I titled it as "Cep" 'cause I thought it looks more like edulis, too.

I know that nowadays the concept of the boletus edulis species includes a number of closely similar boletes of the same genus, which had been treated as separate species in the past, so it's even more confusing I took the photo in "my" woods, and we have very little fir trees here and mostly pine trees, so I usually tend to think these are pine boletes, but who knows. There are also birch boletes where I live, and they all are pretty much the same Sorry, I'm babbling about mushrooms. I just really love mushrooms.

No, it's interesting! I love the way they look, and I like taking pictures of them too...I just don't know very much about the different kinds. x)

I've been gathering mushrooms since I was little. I used to know only a few edible ones, the ones I was taught is safe to gather, and I knew which ones are definitely deadly. I started "studying" mushrooms pretty recently when I got obsessed with mushroom photography and made a blog dedicated to that.

Ah, that's very cool! I'm sure you have a lot of fun finding new ones to take pictures of!

Indeed I do! There are not that many mushrooms growing in spring here, so I can't wait for the summer to go on my mushroom hunt

I don't have many around me as it is...But I keep an eye out for them when I visit the woods.

I live in a place surrounded by woods, so I see mushrooms everywhere
