Both these bolete mushrooms (no gills, but a spongey underside) have some association with men (well, in MY mind, anyway).
First up is old man of the woods, Strobilomyces strobilaceus. I love the pattern on this one - makes me think of vanilla ice cream and crumbled Oreos!
The pattern is exquisite - giraffe-ish?
And then there's the sticky and slimy Slippery Jack, Suillus spraguei, which is apparently edible, but I'm no longer bold enough to try it after a bad experience with chicken-in-the-woods. That's me done with experimenting with wild mushrooms.
