What a sucessful day! After we went for a hike to the rapids of Ruunaa near Lieksa, we visited Karelian houses and Edi found this wonderful boletus. The day ended of course at another camp fire.
We had spent the night at the River Lieksanjoki, where we had a campfire in the evening. (Campfire Nr. 4: 63.378002, 30.345775). In the morning we went to the end of this road to start our hike along the rapids. At this parking called Siikakosken pysäköintialue 😉 there would have been an even nicer spot for a campfire (63.338350, 30.457119).

After our hike we were on the way to a Karelian village in Nurmes with is more a hotel complex, were at this time of the year there wasn’t much going on, we didn’t even get a coffee as everything was closed.
Between the many dangerous looking mushrooms Edi found a very delicious one. Our friends Rosi & Dieter confirmed that it is really a boletus. Edi sliced it and it is now drying and soon will find its way into a potato soup ore something else.
