"Suillus cavipes, The Larch Tree Bolete
Handsome Piggy Hollow-Foot grows in feathery moss in symbiotic relationship exclusively with larches. Instead of gills, a network of Gothic tracery radiates from its stem; some consider it an intermediate form between the Gilled Mushrooms and the Boletaceae to which family it belongs. A choice edible."
In publication, Page 78: "Reflections on the Fungaloids" by B.L. Williamson, Ottawa, 1992. ISBN 1-894572-65-3
