1 Suillus bovinus 19 Sep 02 /12a SpeciesSuillus bovinus
Date/Ref19 September 2002 /12a (76kB JPEG)
Location  Rowardennan, east shore of Loch Lomond, Scotland
HabitatLarge pine a few yards from the shore.
NotesSome of the sporophores were in tightly packed groups as in the photo. The ground around the tree was covered in small sporophores, several hundred I should think. There were also a few other small boletes, Slippery Jacks (B. luteus) as far as I could tell. (There were several mature Slippery Jacks at the next tree.)
