Suillus punctipes, commonly known as the spicy suillus, is a bolete fungus in the family Suillaceae.

Taxonomy

The fungus was originally described in 1878 by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck as a species of Boletus. Collected from Gansevoort, New York, Peck described its distinguishing features as "its rhubarb-colored stem thickened at the base and the brownish color of the young hymenium". Rolf Singer transferred it to Suillus in 1945.

Habitat and distribution

The bolete has been recorded from Taiwan.
