Monk Posted September 29, 2018 Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 They look a lot like saffron milk caps to me, but I've never collected any myself so I'd wait for more educated responses. It might help to know of the gills bruise any when cut and do they seem to have any milky fluids coming from the gills after you cut them?

Vlad Posted September 29, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 29, 2018 Thank you for replay, Monk no milk when you cat it . I think it is honey mushroom. I boiled it with onion for 20 min and onion still white. (this how I testing) 12 minutes ago, Vlad said: or may be you right saffron milk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svs Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 I do not think that onion test is any good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroomersue Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Looks like yellow latex on underside and cut stipe on one pic. So that is an identifier. What is this onion thing you talk about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted September 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Onion as indicator of toxicity level and bitter. My wife use it when cooking mushrooms. so far it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroomersue Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 So what happens to the onion to denote “toxicity”? And it also takes bitterness away too? Lactarius chrysorrheus ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vlad Posted September 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 if it changing color to dark mushrooms are not edible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mushroom Whisperer Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 Hi Vlad, these are a type of Lactarius mushroom, not Honey mushrooms. Although the onion method may appear to work for you, it is not a safe method of determining whether something is edible or not. I don't want to debate or argue with you, but I want anyone else that reads this to understand that proper identification is the key to edible mushrooms.

Vlad Posted September 30, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 sure it is not 100% identifier. this why I'm here. BTW we cook them and they have a little bitter it taste. Not sure what to do with these mushrooms. It is NOT a honey mushrooms for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monk Posted September 30, 2018 Report Share Posted September 30, 2018 I think you've got lactarius vinaceorufescens. Would explain the yellow color when cut, the physical features match and the bitter taste. They tend to fruit in large numbers like that as well. Someone else here might know more about them, but i wouldn't eat any more, although they are a pretty mushroom! http://www.mushroomexpert.com/lactarius_vinaceorufescens.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GCn15 Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 These are definitely not Lactarious Deliciosus or honey mushrooms. It is a Lactarious of some sort. Vlad...your onion test will get you killed. Stop it. Hate to be blunt but the onion test does not work on some of the most deadly mushrooms in the world. It is an old wives tale and an extremely dangerous one at that. You should never eat a wild mushroom without a 100% positive ID to species. Otherwise you are playing Russian roulette with your health or even your life. On 9/29/2018 at 10:57 PM, Monk said: I think you've got lactarius vinaceorufescens.

Dave W Posted October 1, 2018 Report Share Posted October 1, 2018 Didn't read the entire discussion (catching up). But I did notice mention of both Lactarius chrysorrheus and L. vinaceorufescens. The mushrooms being discussed are one of these two species. Key feature is how the latex becomes sulfur-yellow (starts out white). In the second photo down you can see very tiny beads of yellow liquid near where the gills meet the stalk. The yellow stain on the gills and flesh is due to the latex (milk). Not all Lactarius mushrooms produce copious amounts of latex. For some, the cut surface just becomes wet. Vlad's mushrooms look more like L. vinaceorufescens to me (pinkish-tan caps). So, I'm guessing they were found under conifers, most likely pines. The yellow-staining Lactarius species mentioned are listed as poisonous.

Vlad Posted October 5, 2018 Author Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 I think it is ( I did edit my post as mentioned shroomersue) Lactarius vinaceorufescens https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lactarius_vinaceorufescens Thanks Monk, The Mushroom Whisperer you made the point. this mushrooms looking attractive but have one side effect killing human liver. Onion test doesn't work. Thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shroomersue Posted October 5, 2018 Report Share Posted October 5, 2018 If you look at the undersides of these mushrooms, the inrolled margins are smooth. They lack the wooliness feature to your i.d. proposal. L. Torminosus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
