Mushroom time 1

2010.09.30

Boletus edulis.
Common names for Boletus edulis vary by region. The standard Italian name porcino means "piglet" in Italian, and echoes the term suilli, literally 'hog mushrooms', used by the Ancient Romans, and still surviving in Southern Italian words for this mushroom. The derivation has been ascribed to the resemblance of young fruit bodies to piglets, or to the fondness pigs have for eating them. It is also known as king bolete.] The English penny bun refers to its rounded brownish shape. The German name Steinpilz "stone mushroom" is derived from the firm flesh. In Austria it is called Herrenpilz, the "gentlemen's mushroom", while in Mexico, the Spanish name is panza, meaning "belly". Another Spanish name, rodellon, means "small round boulder", while the Dutch name eekhoorntjes brood means "squirrel's bread". In Albanian it is called pankushe or barkushe, the first name probably deriving from Latin and the second one its analog in Albanian meaning "the belly one" from bark=belly. Its Polish name prawdziwek stems from 'prawda' or truth, suggesting that it is the "true mushroom", reflecting its status as the king of field mushrooms in that country.
