Did you know?
This humble mushroom, the edible bolete (Boletus edulis) has many common names.
They are the Penny Bun in English, porcini (little pigs) in Italy, cep (trunk, because of the fat stem) in France and Steinpilz (stone mushroom) in Germany.
In England it's named after the penny bun, which was a small bread bun (with a browned top) that cost one old penny and was a common size to buy in 1266.
