Anyone know what this mushroom could be? It is a boletus, pale yellow underneath, dark brown on top, a bit like a cep/ cèpe/ penny bun, but we found it growing in pairs so close together that it looks like bum cheeks (fanny or ass in American English). The stalks are separate, but the caps had often fused together.
Didn't get a pic, because we'd hoped to easily identify them and return to forage if they were edible, but today they had ALL been picked ...which implies that they are very edible! And to 'cap' it all off, I can't find a trace of them online...

Massive Morel
I went for a walk and was scanning the banks and hedgerows for edible goodies, as usual, when this monster loomed before my eyes! Having previously poisoned myself with fungi, I was naturally very paranoid that I had correctly identified the beast, but mycology forum posts have confirmed that it is definitely an edible black morel. Now I have to decide how to cook it...
