Gomphidius subroseus, commonly known as the rosy gomphidius[3] and rosy slimespike,[4] is a species of gilled mushroom.

Taxonomy

The species was first described by Calvin Henry Kauffman in 1925.[5]

Description

The cap is pinkish tan and up to 3–7 centimetres (1 142 34 in) wide.[3][4] The stem is 3–7 cm long and about 1–2 cm wide.[4] The veil may leave a ring.[3] The gills are deeply decurrent and the spore print is dark gray to black.[4]

Similar species

Gomphidius smithii has a less pink cap. The pink pigment of Hygrophorus caps is less defined and the gills are primarily adnate.[4]

Distribution and habitat

It is found in Europe[6] and North America. It appears from July to September in the Mountain states and September–November on the West Coast.[4]

Ecology

It was once thought to be mycorrhizal with Pinus sylvestris.[6] However, Olson et al. (2002) found it to be more likely to be parasitic on Suillus bovinus, which is apparently mycorrhizal with P. sylvestris.[6]

Edibility

It is considered edible but of low quality.[7] As with other species of the genus, removing the glutinous cuticle improves the taste.[8] It is an accumulator of heavy metals.[9]
