Suillus caerulescens is an edible species of bolete fungus in the family Suillaceae.[1] It was first described scientifically by American mycologists Alexander H. Smith and Harry D. Thiers in 1964.[2] It can be found growing with Douglas fir trees.[3] Its stem bruises blue, which sometimes takes a few minutes.[1]
The cap is yellowish to reddish brown, sometimes with streaks from its darker center.[3] It ranges from 5–15 cm (2–6 in) in diameter, shaped convex to flat, and viscid when wet,[4] sometimes with veil remnants on the edge.[3] The flesh is yellowish,[4] as are the pores.[3] The stalk is yellowish to brown, darkening with age, 2–8 cm tall and 1–3 cm wide, and bruises bluish at the base;[4] it sometimes has a faint ring.[3]
While edible, it is considered of poor quality.[4]
Suillus lakei is fairly similar.[4]
