Gomphidius subroseus

Leucogomphidius subroseus (Kauffman) Kotlába & Pouzar (1972)[1] Gomphidius subroseus, commonly known as the rosy gomphidius[3] is a gilled mushroom found in Europe[4] and North America.

[5] It was once thought to be mycorrhizal with Pinus sylvestris.

[4] However, Olson et al. (2002) found it to be more likely to be parasitic on Suillus bovinus, which is mycorrhizal with Pinus sylvestris, Pinus sylvestris or both.

[4] It is considered edible but of low quality.

[6] As with other species of the genus, removing the glutinous cuticle improves the taste.
