Pictured here is the elusive Boletus mushroom. In search of these delicious treats, chefs will travel from Portland to a secret spot hours from home, spend five hours foraging, and drive home again. The group we came across looked enthusiastically content with their harvest, and pleased to have me take a picture of their treasure. I was informed by Heidi, a chef at The Joel Palmer House in Dayton, Oregon, that these babies sell for $25. per pound in upscale grocery stores - if you can find them.During our stay in Oregon - I am keeping my eyes peeled for the tell tail signs of a Boletus mushroom.
