no problem at all if someone is questioning my opinions. It has been several times that the questioning prevented from a misdetermination
What concerns the slimy coutings, the problem occures in dry weather, when you are not sure about this character. Especially in Cortinarius and Hygrocybe this is often a problem. In Suillus it is usually not, because there are other characters which makes it not necessary to check the cap: If a bolet has a ring, it is always a Suillus (in Europe). The non-ringed Suilli can be recognized by their mostly coloured points at the stipe apex.
best regards,
Andreas

best regards,
Andreas | Many thanks for the info Andreas
btw i wasn't questioning anything. perhaps the darkness of the ring remains got me a little confused  The slimy cap comment was merely an observation; since we notice when these fruits were found in a dehydrated state, an application of water made the caps slimy again. peace out
