Suillus tridentinus (Bres.) Sing., syn: Boletus tridentinus Bres.no name, DE: Rostroter Lrchen-RhrlingSlo.: tridentinska lupljivkaDat.: Oct. 2. 2016Lat.: 46.40383 Long.: 13.74545Code: Bot_1011/2016_DSC5338/5408Habitat: Steep mountain slope, southwest aspect, mixed forest, Fagus sylvatica, Picea abies dominant, with scattered Larix decidua trees; in shade, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; calcareous, skeletal ground; under thicket of young Picea abies and about 3-4 m from a large Larix decidua tree, however not directly under its canopy; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 4-6 deg C, elevation 860 m (2.820 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil.Place: Zadnja Trenta valley, next to the trail leading southeast from No. 48. switchback of alpine Vri pass road (Kugy's monument), before the trail passes Milnarica gorge, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: This small but beautiful, orange-yellow bolete is widespread but in most regions a rare find. In Slovenia it was once protected and put on Red List. However, it is not listed in our last official document related to fungi protection from 2011. The reason is not known to me. This find is to my knowledge the second known one in the Upper Soa river region. Growing solitary. Relatively young fruitbody. Pileus diameter 4 cm, sticky surface; stipe 4.8 cm long, max diameter 15 mm, firm, not hollow; flesh firm, not bruising, after a day in the refrigerator slightly bluing; smell almost none; taste mild, mushroomy, pleasant; SP abundant, golden-yellow, oac852.Spores smooth. Dimensions: (9,4 [10,5 ; 10,9] 11,9 x 4,1 [4,4 ; 4,6] 4,9 microns; Q = 2,1 [2,3; 2,4] 2,7; N = 40; C = 95%; Me = 10,7 x 4,5 microns; Qe = 2,4.

Suillus viscidus (L.) Roussel; syn: Boletus laricinus Berkeley, Boletus aeruginascens Secretan ex OpatowskiSticky bolete, DE: Grauer Lrchen-RhrlingSlo.: siva lupljivkaDat.: Oct. 3. 2016Lat.: 46.40543 Long.: 13.74579Code: Bot_1012/2016_DSC5520Habitat: Near mixed wood edge, alpine pasture, in low grass; moderately steep mountain slope, southwest aspect; calcareous, fairy skeletal ground; sunny and relatively warm place; limestone bedrock; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 5-7 deg C, elevation 905 m (3.000 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil.Place: Zadnja Trenta valley, close to 46. switchback of alpine road to Vri pass, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: Suillus viscidus is not a rare find in Slovenia. It is strictly bound to Larix decidua trees and best recognized by large angular pores and the fact that it is, frankly speaking, an ugly mushroom of indefinite color somewhere among dirty white, gray, beige or pale brown. The whole mushroom is like this. When I first found it I didn't take pictures of it because I thought it was already decayed and therefore determination impossible. But already young pilei look like this. There were more than 10 pilei present at the location, mostly solitary, on an area of about 6 by 6 m. All of them grew under the canopies of Larix decidua or close to them. Pilei diameter 3 - 8 cm, surface viscid, cuticle peels very easily; stem 4 - 9 cm tall, 10 - 17 mm in diameter; taste mild, mushroomy; smell indistinctive; SP faint, brownish, oac could not be determined.Spores smooth. Dimensions: 9,5 [10,7 ; 11,2] 12,4 x 4,3 [4,7 ; 4,8] 5,1 microns; Q = 2 [2,3 ; 2,4] 2,6; N = 36; C = 95%; Me = 11 x 4,7 microns; Qe = 2,3.
