Suillus
grevillei (commonly known as Greville's bolete and larch bolete) is a
mycorrhizal mushroom with a tight, brilliantly coloured cap, shiny and wet
looking with its mucous slime layer. The hymenium easily separates from the
flesh of the cap, with a central stalk that is quite slender. The species has a
ring or a tight-fitting annular zone.
Suillus
grevillei is a mushroom with a 5–10 cm (2–4 in) cap colored from citrus yellow
to burnt orange, that is at first hemispherical, then bell-shaped, and finally
flattened.
It has a
sticky skin, short tubes of yellow or brownish which descend down to the bottom
of its cylindrical stalk (6–10 x 1–2 cm) which is cream-colored turning to
reddish brown with a cream-white ring.
It has a
thin meat which has consistency at first but then quickly becomes soft. It has
an odor reminiscent of rumpled Pelargonium geranium leaves.
It grows in
the soil of mixed forests, not always at the foot of larch (can be quite some
distance away) with which it lives in symbiosis. It grows from June until
November.
Suillus
grevillei is an edible mushroom (without consistency nor flavor) if the slimy
cuticle is removed off the cap. This mucousy skin layer is what is known to
cause intestinal issues, as is the case with several other Suillus such as
Slippery Jack (S. luteus) or Jill (S. salmonicolor); often considered to be not
worth the work.
Its name is
derived from Robert Kaye Greville.
In Asia, it
has been recorded from Taiwan.
