Extract from Wikipedia article: Suillus bovinus, also known as the Jersey cow mushroom or bovine bolete, is a pored mushroom of the genus Suillus in the family Suillaceae. A common fungus native to Europe and Asia, it has been introduced to North America and Australia. It was initially described as Boletus bovinus by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, and given its current binomial name by Henri François Anne de Roussel in 1806. It is an edible mushroom, though not highly regarded.
Suillus bovinus is a species of edible mushroom that belongs to the genus Suillus. It has a brown cap with yellowish-brown tubes and pores, and a stout stem with a ring. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Suillus bovinus is commonly found in coniferous forests, particularly under pine trees, from July to October. The fungus forms mycorrhizal associations with pine roots and can grow solitary or in small groups. It is widely distributed in the region, including in urban parks and green spaces of St. Petersburg.

Bovine bolete mushrooms (Suillus bovinus) near Vyritsa, 50 miles south from Saint Petersburg. Russia, September 10, 2017Unnamed Road, Vyritsa, Leningradskaya oblast', Russia, 188382Observations of Suillus bovinus in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal a widespread presence of the fungus. The species was found in various locations, including near Lembolovo, Petiayarvi, Orekhovo, Dibuny, and Vyritsa, all within 50 miles of Saint Petersburg. The mushrooms were observed growing alone or in groups, and sometimes in association with other species like Gomphidius roseus. The observations span several years, from 2013 to 2017, and occur during the late summer and early fall months, specifically August and September. The consistent presence of Suillus bovinus in these regions suggests a stable and thriving population of the fungus in north-western Russia.
