Suillus punctipes, commonly known as the spicy suillus, is a bolete fungus in the family Suillaceae.

Taxonomy

The fungus was originally described in 1878 by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck as a species of Boletus. Collected from Gansevoort, New York, Peck described its distinguishing features as "its rhubarb-colored stem thickened at the base and the brownish color of the young hymenium".[3] Rolf Singer transferred it to Suillus in 1945.[4]

Habitat and distribution

The bolete has been recorded from Taiwan.[5]
