Justification
Suillus fuscotomentosus is a common Suillus associated with three-needle pines in California, occurring in both coastal and Sierra Nevada forests. No decline has been noted, and the species is widespread, with threats to its host pines believed to be localized. Therefore, is is assessed as Least Concern (LC).Taxonomic notes
Suillus fuscotomentosus was described from California, USA (Smith and Thiers 1964).Geographic range
This species occurs in California, USA, in the central coast region north through the San Francisco Bay area, into the Coast Range, and throughout the Sierra Nevada foothills and mountains into the southern Cascade Range in Oregon.Population and Trends
The population is widespread and appears to be stable overall. Some areas are under threat (particularly coastal Pinus radiata forests), but not at a scale large enough to substantially affect the overall population.
Population Trend: stable
