Habitat: Near/on the base of a large tree. Obviously in kentucky, central kentucky if it helps. Where does it grow? Eg. woods, pasture, state, province, country, altitude, etc. What does it grow on? Eg. soil, dung, wood (dead, living, what kind of wood?), etc.
Gills:Yellow, a bunch of holes, see pic Color, attached/not, gills/pores, etc.
Stem:solid and porous yellow/orange see pic, one pic in hand to compare sizes Length, diameter, color, texture, hollow/solid, thin/thick, etc.
Cap:about 1 1/2 to 2 inches, bumpy, somewhat smooth semi gooey texture, spherical concave Diameter, color, texture, conical/spherical, convex/concave, etc.
Spore print color: In the works Very important!
Bruising: orange/brown Color that the mushroom bruises, if any.
Other information: Print comin eventually if we can't ge something out of what I got in the mean time. Very large pics, expand it and you can get some good details from em.

Im no TI but I'd say its a possible Suillus granulatus. Again, don't take my word for it. This is my first attempt at IDing.

That's a potential winner on the ID. Thanks for the quick reply, I'll wait for some other opinions.
EDIT: The only difference I notice is that the stem is yellow most of these suillus granulatus are white unless that is irrelevant.

Was it under Conifer? Suillus sp. seems likely with a gooey cap.

If I got it, I'm gonna be so happy. That means my new guide I just picked up is useful. Its a 2010 edition of The Mushroom Book: A Popular Guide To The Identification And Study Of Our Commoner Fungi

Well cheers, I'm still convinced you hit it spot on. Regardless, the any suilus are not active but edible I've gathered which is still cool. I like eating. xD
