Suillus punctatipes is a common Suillus in the Pacific Northwest, and rare to occasional in the California mountains. The population is widespread, and no sign of decline has been observed. It is assessed as Least Concern (LC).Taxonomic notes
It was described from Washington, USA, as Boletinus punctatipes (Snell and Dick 1941). Singer (1945) stated this species was a Suillus, but did not officially transfer it. Smith and Thiers (1964) made the transfer to Suillus.Geographic range
It is known from scattered sites in the Sierra Nevada and Siskiyou mountains in California and south-west Oregon, becoming more widespread in the Pacific Northwest, where it occurs from coast through the Cascades, and with scattered sites into the northern Rocky Mountains to the east, and to south-east Alaska in the north.Population and Trends
The population is widespread and appears to be stable, with no decline having been noted. It can be locally abundant in the Pacific Northwest.
