No, this is Suillus grevillei, associated with Larch. Pretty thing hey?

Yea, I know. I was confused myself when I first came across the colour range of this species up in Scotland. Your picture shows more orange-red than brown?

Mmmmm. Still don't think S. luteus.

Suillus luteus tends to have a more membranous ring and a paler stem. I'd go with Andy's suggestion of Suillus grevillei here.

For future reference, it helps to press a finger onto the pore surface and see if it changes colour on bruising. The pores of S. grevillei turn rusty brown. (Also helps to note which trees are present because most keys rely on this ... unless of course there are both pines and larches close by!).

Thanks for your help it is a mixed wood but I may go back tomorrow so will do a pore check and check the trees
