Suillus, perhaps Suillus granulatus or similar.

Thanks very much! You are correct, the specifications match the Suillus granulatus down to the spore print. This is my first time encountering any kind of bolete so was something of a surprise to actually see spongy pores instead of gills.
Anyways, thanks again! And tested a small portion of one, after proper preparation, and found it quite decent in texture and flavor. Still feeling fine an hour later.

Does it excrete milky droplets of moisture?

No, there is no milky excretions, only the snail-slime viscous covering of the cap which I peeled off (upon suggestion in cooking instructions) and found to be somewhat rubbery feeling.
I've never heard of a latex excreting Bolete. Would that have been good or bad?
Edit: Oh I see what you mean, the smaller ones seem to. Kinda a slight bit of white stuff anyways, guess they are a bit too mature now to be sure... didn't have really young specimens to check where I harvested them.
Edit 2: Could they be Suillus luteus instead?

Not from what I see. To begin with, your collections lack an annulus.

I just leave them for the slugs, can't stand the texture of Suillus! Nice to hear you enjoyed them though.
