Granulated Bolete

Also known as Weeping Bolete, Granulated Slippery Jack

Granulated boletes sprout abundantly in pine forests during late summer and autumn, forming vital underground mycorrhizal partnerships with conifer roots. Young fruiting bodies characteristically exude tiny milky liquid droplets from their bright yellow pore surfaces, giving rise to their alternative name. Unlike its close relatives, this mushroom completely lacks a ring or veil on its pale stem, which is instead dotted with fine yellowish or brownish granules.
