Suillus grevillei
Encyclopedia
Suillus grevillei is a mycorrhiza
l mushroom
with a tight, brilliant and dry cap where the hymenium
easily separates from the flesh
of the cap, with a central stalk
that is quite slender. The species has a ring
or a tight-fitting annular zone.
colored from citrus yellow to burnt orange, that is at first hemispherical, then bell-shaped, and finally flattened. It has a sticky skin
, short tubes of yellow or brownish which descend down to the bottom of its cylindrical stalk (6–10 x 1-2 cm) which is cream-colored turning to reddish brown with a cream-white ring.
It has a thin meat which has consistency at first but then quickly becomes soft. It has an odor reminiscent of rumpled Pelargonium
geranium leaves.
It grows in the soil of mixed forests, always at the foot of larch
with which it lives in symbiosis. It grows from June until November.
Suillus grevillei is an edible mushroom
(without consistency nor flavor) if the slimy cuticle is removed.
Its name is derived from Robert Kaye Greville

Hymenium
The hymenium is the tissue layer on the hymenophore of a fungal fruiting body where the cells develop into basidia or asci, which produce spores. In some species all of the cells of the hymenium develop into basidia or asci, while in others some cells develop into sterile cells called cystidia or...

Annulus (mycology)
An annulus is the ring like structure sometimes found on the stipe of some species of mushrooms. The annulus represents the remaining part of the partial veil, after it has ruptured to expose the gills or other spore-producing surface. An annulus may be thick and membranous, or it may be cobweb-like...
