Do you know the species?  Michael Kuo at Mushroom Expert says this about the genus:

"The distinctive features highlight reel for this genus of boletes includes the following:

Growth under conifers
Slimy caps
Glandular dots on the stem
Large pore openings that are often arranged radially
A partial veil that leaves a ring or tissue hanging from the cap margin

The problem is, few of the Suillus mushrooms know they are supposed to manifest all of these features at once. This makes some of them a little difficult to identify to genus..."

I'm curious to know which one it may be, & what people around here think of it as an edible.  If this is the "slippery jack," there seem to be conflicting reports on how good it is to eat.

Could be Suillus tomentosus (blue staining slippery jack).

Hmm... looking up the specs, it doesn't look like it, as the specimens I have lack tomentum.  Mine are also growing under hemlock as opposed to lodgepole pine.

Okay... after a thorough search of boletes, I think the most likely candidate is suillus_caerulescens, or, more likely, suillus ponderosus.  It stains blue on the stem & likes Douglas fir, which is also in the area where I found these. 

"Suillus caerulescens is recognized by a viscid, innately streaked, yellow to tawny-brown cap, fibrillose veil, and blueing of tissue at the stipe base. Suillus ponderosus is closely related and sometimes occurs with S. caerulescens under Douglas fir, but it has a viscid, yellow to tawny-brown annulus, and the cap is less streaked."

My cap isn't very streaked. 

"Edible but of mediocre quality."

Bummer.

Yep, not very good, but tempting because of numbers and size!
