If you think so... I am quit dis-agree, based on the stem basically. I have seen loads and loads of Leccinum Versipelle, and I have not seen any like this, before. And the tubes ar not right also...
It is just a comment.
Thanks,
Julio

You are right, but I am slightly confused regarding the habitat I found this specimen in. Kelling Heath is heather heath
dotted with low islands of birch scrub. There are very few conifer trees on the Heath and none where I took this image. I thought Suillus was associated with conifers, hence I didn't go for Suillinus bovinus but Leccinum versipelle. Other images of this specimen show a short stem and a pronounced whitish inrolled margin. Thanks for the comments.

The pores and other characters are quite characteristic of Suillus bovinus. The roots of some pine trees can spread for some distance but also they can be found growing with small pine saplings which you might not have spotted.

Thanks for the comment Ken. I agree about Suillus bovinus. Your observation regarding the roots of pine saplings is a good point.
