These are amanitas cesareas (also locally called "yemas de huevo"), a type of mushroom that grows beneath chestnut trees. This year we are already seeing quite a bit of these mushroom on offer for sale. The people that bring do not tell us where they found them to preserve their mushroom hunting grounds.

Ivan has been preparing dishes with these mushrooms. They are very pretty for a mushroom.
