The Tamagotake : red colored complexion, wide hat, yellowish hairy and turns yellow on hit and very good taste
The Hatsutake (=lactarius) : easy breakable flesh, more or less milk, used in local market cooking
The Hanaiguchi (=boletus) : viscous and shiny, brown foot, same family as the famous ‘’cepe’’
