Suillus grevillei

Cap	Variously pale yellow, daffodil yellow, bright chrome yellow or bright rusty yellow, the cap of the Larch Bolete is very viscid when wet and remain shiny even in dry weather. 4 to 12 cm across at maturity, and expanding until almost flat (occasionally conical or with a marked raised central area, known as an umbo), the caps of large specimens of this conspicuous bolete are quite often somewhat wavy at the margin.
Tubes and Pores	At first lemon yellow, the angular pores take on a cinnamon tint as the fruiting body matures. When bruised, the pores turn rusty brown. The tubes are pale yellow and do not change colour when the cap is cut.
Stipe	1.2 to 2 cm in diameter and 5 to 7 cm long, the stip provides a useful identifying feature: the thin white veil that covers the tubes of immature fruiting bodies forms a transient ring of the stem. When the ring falls away a pale area is left on the stem. Most of the stem is covered in brown dot-like scales; but above the ring zone the stem is often paler and almost scaleless (not so in the specimen shown here!).
Spore print	Ochre or sienna-brown.
Odour/taste	Not distinctive.
Habitat	Beneath larch trees.
Season	July to October.
Occurrence	Very common.
Similar species	Suillus granulatus is quite similar but has no stem ring.
