Field Notes

Description:

~2-2.5" caps, smooth/rubbery would be the best way I could describe the cap, maybe a dull shine to it. On a manila folder for color reference. Looking at wikipedia, it looks like it has some similarities to Suillus americanus, but just doesn't look quite the same...

I have no idea about S. Americanus, but S. Bovinus is nothing special, tastes bland. If you have a bunch of other tasty mushroom and don't have enough of them, you can use these as way of making a bigger pot of mushroom stew. But be careful with S. Bovinus, it tends to give a lot o water and the texture of the old specimens is not that great, like an old sponge.

Hmm both of those look plausible to me. Do you have any experience eating them? It says they're edible.

Looks like Suillus Americanus... Maybe... The pores look like the Pores from Suillus Bovinus
