  • About

Lactarius deliciosus When damaged, Lactarius exudes a milky substance. The ‘milk’ of this species is bright orange and the gills and cap tend to stain gradually green. This mushroom is much sought after on the Continent especially in Spain.

Milk Caps the Spanish Way
Saffron milk cap is the all time favourite of the Spanish and it is found in great quantities in the northern pine woods. In fact when collecting in Andorra I came across an area where some of the caps had been left behind by the collectors who must have had a surfeit as normally they strip the woods bare.
