Summary

[edit]
Description

I'm not 100% that I'm clear on my notes of this one. I think it's the Douglas Fir Suillus.

If it is, it is a "mycorrhizal."

From the above link at MushroomExpert.com: "Mushrooms that are mycorrhizal are involved in a symbiotic (mutually beneficial) relationship with the tiny rootlets of plants--usually trees. The cells of the mushroom's mycelium surround the tree rootlets with a sheath, and the mushroom helps the tree absorb water and nutrients while the tree provides sugars and amino acids to the mushroom. The organisms may need each other to survive. It is estimated that about 85% of plants depend on mycorrhizal relationships with fungi."

Emphasis mine because I was really surprised. I had no idea how valuable fungi are to other plants.
