About Suillus pseudobrevipes A.H.Sm. & Thiers
Suillus pseudobrevipes, commonly called the veiled short-stemmed slippery jack, is a fungal species belonging to the genus Suillus. It was first formally described scientifically in 1964 by American mycologists Alexander H. Smith and Harry D. Thiers. The cap of this fungus measures 5 to 15 centimetres (2 to 6 inches) wide, has a tannish color that darkens as the fungus ages, and its margin may retain whitish remnants of the partial veil. The pores are yellow, and the spore print produced by the species is brown. The stalk can grow up to 8 centimetres long and 3 centimetres thick, and a fibrillous annulus is usually present on the stalk. This species is distributed across North America, where it grows under pine trees. Its fruit body is edible.
