Suillus granulatus can extract trace elements, such as titanium, calcium, potassium, magnesium and lead from wood ash. This process is called bioleaching and is a process where living organisms are used to extract metals from ores. It's a cleaner alternative to conventional smelting processes.
''Suillus granulatus'' is a pored mushroom of the genus ''Suillus'' in the family Suillaceae. It is similar to the related ''S. luteus'', but can be distinguished by its ringless stalk. Like ''S. luteus'', it is an edible mushroom that often grows in a symbiosis with pine. It has been commonly known as the weeping bolete, or the granulated bolete.
