Suillus punctipes

Suillus punctipes, commonly known as the spicy suillus, is a bolete fungus in the family Suillaceae.

The fungus was originally described in 1878 by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck as a species of Boletus.

Collected from Gansevoort, New York, Peck described its distinguishing features as "its rhubarb-colored stem thickened at the base and the brownish color of the young hymenium".

[3] Rolf Singer transferred it to Suillus in 1945.

[5] The species is edible but very soft.
