Found a handful of these today....never observed them before.
Only problem when keying out is this species is limited to where Monterey pine occurs....none anywhere near where we found these. There are other pine species in the area. The smell while strong is pleasant.

Suillus pungens Thiers and Smith
Toward a Monogr. of N. Am. Sp. of Suillus, p. 92. 1964.
Common Name: Slippery Jack
Pileus
Cap 5-13 cm broad, convex, nearly plane in age; margin incurved when young with cottony, white velar tissue; surface viscid, smooth, white, becoming grey with olive tones, at maturity various combinations of rusty-brown, reddish-brown or a dull yellowish-brown, the latter typical of old fruiting bodies; flesh white, turning yellow at maturity, not bruising blue; odor and taste fruity but harsh.
Hymenophore
Pores at first white to cream, exuding white droplets in moist weather; in age pores yellowish to dingy, yellow-brown, not bruising blue.
Stipe
Stipe 3-8 cm tall, 1.5-2.0 cm thick, equal, sometimes tapering slightly to the base; surface dry, white to pale yellow, dotted with buff-colored glands that at maturity become dark-brown; flesh not bruising blue.
Spores
Spores 9-10 x 3-3.5 µm, elliptical, smooth; spore print brown.
Habitat
Scattered to gregarious under Monterey Pine (Pinus radiata); fruiting sporadically in watered areas during the summer months; often in large numbers after the fall rains.
Edibility
Edible, but not choice, due to a soft texture and harsh flavor; like many boletes, it frequently is infested with fly larva; young specimens are sometimes dried or pickled after peeling the slimy cuticle.
Comments
Suillus pungens fruits abundantly under Monterey Pine, frequently in the company of Chroogomphus vinicolor, the Pine Spike. This "slippery jack", so named because of its slimy cap, undergoes a series of color changes starting out white, then grey with touches of olive, finally a mixture of rusty-brown and yellow-brown tones. The pungent odor and milky droplets on the pores of young specimens are also important field characters.

Micro I've only found black chantrelles in one small patch....I wish I could find more. These ones are in the moss of a 10 year old log skidder road. Mixed conifers, deciduous trees and evergreen huckleberries both sides of the road bed. Well shaded by the canopy cover. I'll take a pic next time.

Going out today. Guess Ill check out some skidder roads on my hands and knees. LOL
Sometimes I follow skidder roads till I find some chanterelles (yellows) then cut off into the brush and find the mother load. Maybe my eyes just are not used to looking for the dark ones.
