Larch Bolete
A slimy-capped, bright yellow to orange-yellow Suillus that grows only with larch. It has yellow pores, a collapsing pale yellow ring, and brown glandular dots above the ring. It is native to Europe; in North America true S. grevillei is mainly found with planted European larch, while native larches mostly host the reddish-brown S. clintonianus.
Edible (Horn's Boletes; Wikipedia) but of little culinary interest; remove the slimy cap cuticle before cooking. Its larch host and yellow colors make it distinctive, and no dangerous look-alikes are reported.
