What is this?
Greasers are a special kind of mushroom, also known as Suillus, that you can often spot in forests. They are famous for having a cap that feels a bit sticky or slimy to the touch, especially after it rains. Many types of Greasers grow close to pine trees and are a tasty treat for those who know how to identify them.
