Description

Mucilopilus is a unique genus of bolete mushrooms. These fungi are known for their distinctive slimy or mucilaginous cap surface, which gives them a slippery texture when touched. The caps are typically brown or reddish-brown in color. Mucilopilus species have pores instead of gills under their caps, a characteristic feature of boletes. They are often found growing in association with hardwood trees in temperate forests.
