Borowiki, sorry. Borówki are red berries I think.

I don't know what this mushroom is called in English.

Borowik is a Boletus.
I got some big ones on my property. I'll take a picture later.

Do we need a separate thread for mushroom enthusiasts?

That would be nice, Rakky! :)

Borowik is a Boletus.

Yeah, but in Russian we use the word "borowik" usually for "cep".
pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borowik_szlachetny

Another word that we use for that type of mushroom is "bely grib" (literaly "white muchroom").
I know that there're lots of different names that I don't know for the same type of mushroom even within Russia as every region name it in its own way.

Btw this mushroom pl.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borowik_ponury is called in Russia "polsky bely" (Polish white mushroom) or "dubovik" (mushroom growing under the oak).
