suillus spraguei
The Painted Suillus is a colorful mushroom that can be found in forests! Its bright colors can make it look like it's painted, which is why it gets its name.
Hábitat: It lives in pine forests, often found on the forest floor.
The Painted Suillus has a striking reddish-brown, shaggy cap covered in woolly scales, often with yellowish edges. Its underside features bright yellow pores that turn olive with age, and the stem is yellow, dotted with reddish granules or scales. This combination of shaggy red, yellow, and red-dotted elements makes it visually distinct.
