In peace, Love tunes the shepherd's reed;
In war, he mounts the warrior's steed;
In halls, in gay attire is seen;
In hamlets, dances on the green;
Love rules the court, the camp, the grove,
And men below, and saints above;
For love is heaven and heaven is love.
SCOTT: _Lay of the Last Minstrel,_ Canto iii., St. 2.

Boletus aff. satanus

Boletus aff. satanus or satanas The Devil's bolete is found in the entire temperate zone, but in Europe it definitely occurs more in southern regions. It is only found in the south of England.[1] It has been recorded in the Black Sea and eastern Anatolia regions of Turkey.[6][4] It has been recorded from coastal areas of California, with a possible record from the southeastern US, and could feasibly occur in the Pacific Northwest.[7] It grows in hardwood forests, mainly under beech (Fagus) in Europe, and oak (Quercus) in North America. Preferring calcareous (chalky) soil,[1] it appears in summer and the beginning of the autumn in the southernmost areas. It is rather rare in the north, as it grows only in hot and sunny periods. It fruits in autumn.[7]
