Are these Suillus brevipes? Cap is slimy but doesn't match exactly the color I see in books. Immediate surroundings are young aspen, also with young blue spruce and fallen lodgepole and ponderosa (all this from 2013 wildfire) Elevation: 9415 ft / 2870 m 38.91663, -104.95361 Working on spore print.

I would agree with S. brevipes. Looks very similar (especially the color and look of the upper side of the cap) to S. brevipes photo on Suillus - Alchetron, The Free Social Encyclopedia https://alchetron.com/cdn/suillus-5046ae12-6fff-4776-b92f-b924dac01ff-resize-750.jpeg
These look more like Suillus pseudobrevipes because some of the stems show a faint white ring remnant of a veil. Both of these species are associated with pine trees, which appear to be present nearby.
