Suillus lakei
1964Summary
Suillus lakei, commonly known as the matte Jack, Lake's bolete, or the western painted Suillus, is a species of fungus in the family Suillaceae. It is characterized by the distinctive reddish-brown tufted fibers or small scales on the cap, and the presence of a woolly veil on the stem. The caps can reach diameters of up to 15 cm (6 in), while the stems are between 6 and 12 cm (2+1⁄4 and 4+3⁄4 in) long and usually 1–3 cm (1⁄2–1+1⁄4 in) thick. On the underside of the cap is a layer of spongy yellow to yellow-brown angular pores; these pores are covered with a whitish partial veil when young. A mycorrhizal fungus, S. lakei grows in association with Douglas-fir. It is native to northwestern North America, but has been introduced to Europe as well as South America and New Zealand. The mushroom is edible, but opinions vary as to its quality....read more on Wikipedia.
