Suillus tomentosus is a species of fungus. The common names of the species are blue-staining slippery jack, poor man's slippery Jack, and woolly-capped suillus. Found in North America, the mushroom is edible for most people, but may cause gastric upset in others; it also resembles some poisonous species.
