Kimon Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Sry about the missing info in my previous post. So, these two mushrooms were found in a forest of oak trees, but there were fir trees as well. Altitude approximately 1200 m. The first two photos are what seems to me as lactarius deliciosus. Cap diameter about 4cm. Stem length about 3cm. The other mushroom, well, i cannot exactly guess. Is it some kind of lactarius as well?? Cap diameter about 9cm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tasso Posted October 29, 2015 Report Share Posted October 29, 2015 Most likely L. deliciosus. Gills should stain green if bruised. Latex is red-orange, slowly turning wine red. No idea about the other one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 30, 2015 Report Share Posted October 30, 2015 I don't see any green staining on the first one. I think this points away from L. deliciosus and favors something more like L. salmonicolor. Also, I think I see what may be a scrobiculate stalk... shallow darker orange "potholes". In North America, L salmonicolor is reported under fir trees. 2nd mushroom looks like a Lactarius. If it has a fishy odor and a mild taste, then L. luteolus is a possibility... assuming this is a European species. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianf Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 perhaps it's lactarius ugliosus? those might be some of the least appetizing mushrooms I have ever seen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave W Posted October 31, 2015 Report Share Posted October 31, 2015 Actually, L. luteolus --which I am not convinced matches the ones seen above-- is a very good edible type, similar to L. volemus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
