I for one am happy to see another poster, Daniel. Welcome! While I
don't know of any FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) to this newsgroup,
I'm sure someone will mention it.<G>

I've been thinking that Boletopsis subsquamosa (Kurokawa) might be
good sliced thinly, the cooked, then dipped in a thin sauce with lots
of vinegar, kind of like our local Yoshida Original Gourmet Sauce.

The sauce, by the way, goes well with a bunch of mushrooms. I
especially like it with shiitake.
