Suillus cavipes, commonly known as the hollow foot[2] is a species of mushroom in the genus Suillus.[3] The epithet cavipes (Latin: 'hollow foot') refers to the hollow stem.[4]
The brownish cap is up to 12 centimetres (4 3⁄4 in) wide, dry, fibrillose, sometimes with veil remnants on the edge.[2] The pores are buff and usually decurrent.[2] The stipe is up to 9 cm long and 2 cm thick, yellowish above, sometimes with a slight ring, and cap-colored below.[2] The flesh is whitish and firm.[2]
It is found in Europe and North America. It is associated with larch in the Pacific Northwest.[4] It is edible.[2]
