Also got a neat photo of Chroogomphus and Suillus mushrooms growing together, I guess pine spikes are supposed to parasitize members of the Suillus genus.

Nice find, the host/parasite pairings for boletes are usually species-specific so if you can ID either mushroom to species, you'll know what the other one is as well.

Thanks, I did take a have a look under the scope so will take another look at the photos. I was thinking something like C. ochraceus.

I think you're right, that Suillus looks like S. tomentosus which grows with two-needle pine and I see a bunch of two-needle bundles in your photo. C. ochraceus is a complex but one of them is supposed to parasitize S. tomentosus so you've probably got whichever that one is.
