Taxonomy edit

The species was first described by Wally Snell as Boletinus ochraceoroseus in 1941, based on specimens he had collected near Smith Creek in Idaho.[5] René Pomerleau and Alexander H. Smith transferred it to Fuscoboletinus in 1962.[6] In 1973, Rolf Singer transferred the species to Suillus.[7]

Description edit

The cap is whitish then red, and dry and fibrillose, sometimes with buff veil remnants on the edge. The pores are yellow to brown. The stipe is yellowish with red-brown hues near the base, usually has a ring or ring zone, often hollow, with flesh staining blue-green.[3]
