They usually grow between May and June, and become visible in the woods as early as August, although it is between September and October that their presence is at its peak, which experts are able to recognise at first glance by their external characteristics, clearly different, they are four varieties:
• Boletus edulis, Bulliard: Fries • Boletus aereus, Bulliard: Fries • Boletus aestivalis • Boletus pinophilus.
