Suillus decipiens is a species of fungus in the family Suillaceae.[2] First described by Charles Horton Peck in 1889 as Boletinus decipiens,[3] it was transferred to Suillus in 1898 by Otto Kuntze.[4]
The yellowish cap is 3.5–7 centimetres (1+3⁄8–2+3⁄4 in) wide, convex then flattening, with tannish scales. The yellow tubes are up to 5 millimetres (1⁄4 in) long. The pale stem is 4–7 cm (1+5⁄8–2+3⁄4 in) long and 7–15 mm (1⁄4–5⁄8 in) thick.[2]
The species is found in southeastern North America, with the northern limit of its range extending to New Jersey. It is edible.[2]
