      Summary Author:  Thierry Lombry   
      
      I was very surprised to find this ghastly looking mushroom, commonly   
      called bay bolete ( Imleria badia species, formely  Xerocomus   
      badius), in the woods of Eischen, Luxembourg – a forest rich in various   
      plant and fungal species. Measuring ~7 cm (3 inches) in height, it   
      consists of two specimens that have grown together and adapted to each   
      other. They eventually merged their  caps to form this kind of seat.   
      It reminded me of  Papa Smurf's throne! In spite of its horrid   
      appearance, this mushroom is edible. Photo taken on October 16, 2022
