Weeping Bolete / Granulated Bolete

Suillus granulatus

Old grassy pine forests. Summer, autumn.

The Weeping Bolete is very similar to the Slippery Jack, differing only in that its fruiting bodies lack the membrane, the stem has no ring, the cap is less slimy, and it appears in smaller groups. Grows in mature or old, grassy, less often young pine forests. A tasty edible mushroom. Common. Medical scientists are also interested in the properties of this mushroom.
