description Suillus cavipes Overview
Suillus cavipes, commonly called the hollow bolete or hollow-stemmed larch bolete, is a pore-bearing ectomycorrhizal fungus in the family Suillaceae. It fruits on the ground with larch trees, and the mature stem is characteristically hollow, especially in its lower part; the cap is brown, dry, and fibrous, with pale yellow pores beneath. Some field guides list it as edible, but wild mushroom identification and edibility require expert confirmation because related species can look similar [US Forest Service](https://www.nrs.fs.usda.gov/pubs/gtr/gtr_nrs79r.pdf).
