Also got a neat photo of Chroogomphus and Suillus mushrooms growing together, I guess pine spikes are supposed to parasitize members of the Suillus genus.

Cool! That is quite pointy.
Is the spotty pattern on the Suillus normal? Or is it showing signs of being parasitized?
I think it is just the texture of the cap, I’m not sure but I think the symbiosis is at the mycelium level.
