I found this Boletus edulis (penny bun, cèpe de Bordeaux, porcino, panza, Steinpilz, Herrenpilz, eekhoorntjesbrood) in the forest near my home. What a beauty. I gave it my personal touch. The colours are expressing the essence of nature. I printed and framed it for my grandchildren’s room.
This mushroom lives in close harmony (symbiosis!) with the roots of trees. It gives nitrogen and other nutrients to the roots and gets fixed carbon in return. With this building material, it can expand its network.
