I had wondered about the cep, but felt that Greg would have probably noticed 
the lack of gills and the presence of tubes/pores. They would certainly 
qualify as wonderful!
Thinking further, I wonder if Greg wouldn't be best advised to write to his 
talented, generous and gastronomic hostess in Merritt and ask _her_ what they 
were! Once we know, we can be more helpful.
All the Best
