Its shady recesses would then harbor that special boletic reek which makes a Russian’s nostrils dilate— a dark, dank, satisfying blend of damp moss, rich earth, rotting leaves.

I inhaled deeply the dank, boletic smell around the woody fungus.

It was the dank smell of the earth turning leaves and needles to rich soil, a beautiful rotting boletic smell that meant mushrooms.
