Extract from Wikipedia article: Suillus granulatus is a pored mushroom of the genus Suillus in the family Suillaceae. It is similar to the related S. luteus, but can be distinguished by its ringless stalk. Like S. luteus, it is an edible mushroom that often grows in a symbiosis (mycorrhiza) with pine. It has been commonly known as the weeping bolete, or the granulated bolete.
Suillus granulatus is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Suillaceae. It is characterized by its medium to large size, with a cap diameter of 4-10 cm, and a stout stem. The cap is typically brown to yellow-brown, often with a sticky or slimy surface, and the pores are yellow to brownish-yellow. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, Suillus granulatus is commonly found in coniferous forests, particularly under pine trees, from July to October. It forms mycorrhizal associations with pine roots and can be abundant in areas with acidic soils and high levels of rainfall. The fungus is edible and considered a good food source, but its distribution and abundance may vary depending on environmental conditions.

Weeping bolete mushrooms (Suillus granulatus) between Oselki and Toksovo, north from Saint Petersburg. Russia, August 13, 2024Токсовское городское поселение, Всеволожский район, Ленинградская область, Северо-Западный федеральный округ, РоссияObservations of Suillus granulatus in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia show that the fungus grows in various locations, including suburbs of Saint Petersburg such as Toksovo and areas near Sestroretsk like Tarkhovka. The mushrooms have been spotted on roadsides and in natural environments between Oselki and Toksovo. The sightings occurred during summer months, specifically July and August, across different years: 2016, 2018, and 2024. The fungus appears to thrive in these regions, with multiple observations of Weeping Bolete mushrooms in the same general area over time, indicating a possible consistent habitat for Suillus granulatus in north-western Russia. The Russian name for the species, Maslionok, is also commonly used to refer to the fungus in these observations.
