Weeping bolete
Suillus granulatus, the weeping bolete, is a pine-associated bolete of Europe and of pine regions where it was introduced, recorded as cooked or preserved.
Overview
Suillus granulatus is a bolete that forms mycorrhizal partnerships with pine trees. Its English name is weeping bolete.
The catalogue records it in Europe and in regions where pines were introduced.
Nordic guidance
The Nordic guidance on mushrooms traded as food lists the weeping bolete among wild edible mushrooms in its list 2, where identity must be documented by recognised experts before the mushroom is suitable for commercial marketing.
Food use and safety
The catalogue records the species as cooked or preserved. It flags digestive intolerance and regional preparation practices as requiring checks, and does not establish a standard method.
This page does not establish a safe amount or preparation. A mushroom must be confirmed by a competent expert before it is eaten.
