Rhizopogon vulgaris is one of over 150 species of underground
false truffles related to the genus Suillus. They can be
found with species of the pinacea throughout the year except when the weather
is too cold or too dry. All species are edible but are far more attractive
as food for small mammals, especially flying squirrels, than for humans.
Their taste is pleasant but not exciting.
