Suillus kaibabensis is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae. The species was first described scientifically by American mycologist Harry D. Thiers.
Description[]
Suillus kaibabensis is a hardy yellow member of the genus Suillus. While yellow is the primary color, it can also include brown and white tones in varying degrees as well. This mushroom has a stem around 2–4 cm long, and 1–2 cm thick.[1] The cap is broad and convex to flat, typical of many species of boletes. The stipe is bare, spotted with olive brown and can be reddish-brown at the base. The pores are yellowish-brown that can turn a salmon color with age.
Taxonomy[]
This species was first described by Harry D. Thiers in 1978.[2] This species bears close resemblance to Suillus granulatus.[1][3] The species has a very common look to other Suillus,[4] and is rather difficult to tell apart other than the close association with Ponderosa pine. An easy identifier to use for Suillus is Suillus Filter.
Ecology[]
Suillus kaibabensis grows in the four corners region of Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, and Colorado. This species exclusively prefers Ponderosa pine.[5] It is mycorrhizal, and requires these trees to survive. It produces fruiting bodies during the wetter season of late July to September.
