Thanks Maria. I agree. Fixed.
especially like the third shot!
yes, they are very common here!
Thanks for that PatriciaPi I will start tracking these down after I have loaded a few more. I thought a 'northener' might know this being in pine needles.
it's similar to Suillus sp.
inhabit the northern hemisphere, but have been introduced in the southern hemisphere in pine plantations
