Slippery Jack ID Guide: The Slimiest Bolete in the Forest

Slippery jack (Suillus luteus) is a brown bolete with a slimy cap and yellow pores, and it grows with pine trees on sandy ground. It's a choice edible, and its two common lookalikes, the bovine bolete and the weeping bolete, are edible too. The ring on its stem is what tells it apart from both. Never eat a wild mushroom unless you are completely certain of its identification. By the end of this video you'll know how to recognise it: where it grows, the cap, the pores and their white veil, the stem, the flesh and the smell, and the ring that sets it apart from its lookalikes. ⏱ Chapters 0:00 The slippery jack 0:20 Habitat 0:33 Seasonality 0:37 Cap 0:58 Pores and veil 1:18 Ring and stem 1:36 Flesh 1:50 Smell 2:08 Lookalikes: the bovine bolete vs slippery jack 2:51 Lookalikes: the weeping bolete vs slippery jack 3:36 Cooking: peel the cap first 3:47 Identify mushrooms with Mushroom Spot 🍄 Need help identifying mushrooms?
