Hi, new to mycology and hoping to get this identified. Maybe bolete?
    #19082031 - 11/03/13 07:01 PM (10 years, 3 months ago)

I was out walking around and found these, the look like some kind of bolete, but they aren't shaped like ones I've seen before. I hope they are edible. lol. They smell good.

Habitat:  Rocky soil, open field under a small evergreen

Gills: Pores, Light golden yellow to brown/dark brown I can't decide if they are considered attached or free

Stem: Whitish to light yellow, stubby (about  1-1 1/4 inches long) irregular shape and enlarged at base, about 1/2 inch wide and firm

Cap: light beige to dark brown  3-5 inches across, irregular shape with uneven surface, some specimens had splitting around the edges.

Spore Print: none yet

Bruising: no color change was observed

General location: eastern washington

Its a Suillus species, though I'm not sure which.  Are there any fresher specimens to be found?

Also the specific type of tree nearby would help greatly with a solid ID.

Well, these are about as good as there was, but I'll keep an eye out. the location is close to me and I've seen these guys before. I doubt I'll see more now though, it's been starting to freeze. I'm pretty sure the tree was a small shore pine if it matters.  Thanks for trying to help.

General stature, and the fibrils on the cap remind me a lot of Suillus volcanalis, but they are associated with Jeffrey pines. 

Compare with Suillus brevipes perhaps.  Maybe someone else has a better idea.

Well, I'm not sure about the pine tree. I'll try and get a positive species soon if I have time. But I'm really no better at ID'ing trees than I am mushrooms. lol I'm sorry, I'm not much help. I really appreciate the input. Any chance these could be edible? I've heard it's pretty simple to rule out poisonous bolete's from edible ones. I did taste these, just a lick of one I tore open. Not bitter at all.  My wife says "just eat them" lol.

There are no toxic members in this genus.  That does not mean they all taste good though.  :wink:

As with any new mushroom, only eat a bit at first to be sure they agree with you.

Edit:  Its also a good idea to remove the pores from them before consumption.

Why is this so? Does this go for other pore bearing mushrooms also? I recently ate some birch bolete but did not remove the pores. It was a bit soggy/slimey but pallatible.

This is the major factor.  But also they can act as a laxative in some species.  Better safe than shitty.  :lol:

Edit: This includes the slimy cuticle layer as well.

Well, I ate one. No ill effects, but a little bland though.

I did, but it was so squishy the texture put me off.  I seem to remember you saying that when fried near crispy its not so bad?

Yea, but even then the texture is a bit squishy which I don't mind.
