Suillus grevillei (common names Larch Bolete, Greville's Bolete, or Bovine Bolete) is a mycorrhizal mushroom with a tight, brilliant and dry cap where the hymenium easily separates from the flesh of the cap, with a central stalk that is quite slender. The species has a ring or a tight-fitting annular zone.
[edit] Description
Suillus grevillei is a mushroom with a 5 to 10 cm cap colored from citrus yellow to burnt orange, that is at first hemispherical, then bell-shaped, and finally flattened. It has a sticky cuticle, short tubes of yellow or brownish which descend down to the bottom of its cylindrical stalk (6-10 x 1-2 cm) which is cream-colored turning to reddish brown with a cream-white ring.
It has a thin meat which has consistency at first but then quickly becomes soft. It has an odor reminiscent of rumpled geranium leaves.
It grows in the soil of mixed forests, always at the foot of larch with which it lives in symbiosis. It grows from June until November.
Suillus grevillei is an edible mushroom (without consistency nor flavor) if the slimy cuticle is removed.
