Image Description: A photograph of two shiny and sticky yellow boletus mushrooms. Their natural stickiness is evident here in this photo by the twigs, leaves, and sticks that are stuck to it. The cap of the yellow boletus mushroom can range from 3 to 12 inches in diameter, and it is usually reddish brown in color, before fading to white as the mushroom matures. The stem on the yellow boletus is very thick in relation to the cap; it appears to bulge in the middle while looking club-shaped. Yellow boletus mushrooms grow in areas dominated mainly by spruce, hemlock, fir, and pine trees, but have been seen growing under other trees like beech, chestnut, and oak. These particular mushrooms are able to thrive in soil that is high in heavy metals and do well near metal smelters.
