BOLETUS AEREUS Bull.:Fr.

Boletus Aereus (dark cep or bronze bolete) is a cousin of the basilomanitaro and often confused, although these are especially delicious. They are found all across the Greek mainland, and on the islands of Cyprus, Lésvos and Náxos.

In Greek, the name means 'little monk', but it’s also known, simply, like Elvis, as βασιλικό (vasiliko), the 'king'.
