jordan_gates_Description
Found under lodgepole pine, no odor, cap is very glutinous. Purple to black with the application of KOH
Lacks the granular dots and host of Suillus placidus.
Based on a. H. SM and Thiers monograph of Suillus 1964 Suillus pallidiceps seems to fit the best for now.

In the Japanese Gardens at Butchart's Gardens. Could not get close for proper identification. Grew in a circle around a tree. Interesting fungus!
