Suillus ochraceoroseus, commonly known as the rosey larch bolete,[2] is a species of fungus in the genus Suillus. It is similar in appearance to S. lakei.
The mushroom appears with larch in early summer and is edible.
Taxonomy
The species was first described by Wally Snell as Boletinus ochraceoroseus in 1941, based on specimens he had collected near Smith Creek in Idaho.[3] René Pomerleau and Alexander H. Smith transferred it to Fuscoboletinus in 1962.[4] In 1973, Rolf Singer transferred the species to Suillus.[5]
Description
The cap grows up to 25 centimetres (10 in) wide,[2] whitish then red, dry, and fibrillose. The margin may be yellow and have buff veil remnants.[2] The pores are yellow to brown. The stipe is up to 10 cm (4 in) long, yellowish with red-brown hues near the base, usually with a ring or ring zone, and often hollow.[6] The flesh is yellowish and may stain blue-green. The spore print is reddish-brown.[2]
The species is similar in appearance to S. lakei.[7]
Habitat
The mushroom appears with larch in early summer.[6]
Uses
The species is edible but has a bitter flavour.[2][7]
