Extract from Wikipedia article: Suillus viscidus (commonly known as the sticky bolete) is an edible, uncommon mushroom in the genus Suillus. It associates with larch and is found throughout Europe and in Japan.
Suillus viscidus is a species of bolete fungus that grows in association with coniferous trees, particularly pine. In St. Petersburg and Leningrad Oblast, it is commonly found in sandy soils under Scots pine. In north-western Russia, it fruits from July to October, often in large numbers, and is characterized by its sticky cap, which is 3-8 cm in diameter, and its yellow-brown to reddish-brown color. The stem is 4-7 cm tall and 0.5-1.5 cm thick, with a ring or ring zone. The flesh is yellowish and has a mild taste. Suillus viscidus is considered edible and is used in local cuisine.
