Chief:

That mushroom is surely not a bolete (and is most likely a very large death angel). The fact that it was as large as a dinner plate got my attention. I'm at the point where I'm knowledgeable enough to sort-of know what I'm looking at but still not absolutely sure (& with mushrooms you better be damn-sure). Morels are easy and I pick those with abandon. The rest require a bit more reassurance before I go charging in. I just haven't advanced to spore-printing, staining, etc. and all the other mycology tricks that the pros use.
