User's notes

Several clumps of fungi, c. 10m from pine trees. I would like confirmation of the species if possible.

I've made the suggestion of Suillus luteus because I think that I can see a ring of membranous tissue around the stipe (stem) directly under the cap, such a ring is absent in Suillus granulatus. Suillus granulatus also tends to have dark speckles on the stipe which is absent in this specimen.
