An excerpt characterizing the Orange Milky

Milky milky burning in the photo
The color of the cap is flesh-gray or gray-olive (photo)

Milky burning milky is a rare agaric , which grows singly or in small groups from early August to early October. It prefers to settle on clay soils or in open, illuminated areas of mixed, deciduous and broad-leaved forests, as well as in shrubs.

The mushroom is edible. Hat 3-6 cm, smooth, slightly concave, first with a tucked edge, then with a sharp edge unfolded, sometimes with drops of milky juice. The color of the cap is grey-flesh or grey-olive with faint concentric circles. In wet weather, the cap is slimy. Descending thin ocher-yellow plates with drops of milky juice. Milky juice is burning caustic, abundant white, does not change color in air. The leg of mature mushrooms is hollow, of the same color with a cap or lighter, up to 5 cm long. Its surface is smooth, dull, dry, yellowish-brown. Near the cap on the leg there is a lighter transverse stripe. The pulp is dense, white or grayish with a slight mushroom smell. The milky juice is bitter, white in color, which does not change upon contact with air.

Grows next to hazel and other species.

Occurs from August to October.

Milky burning milky toxic doppelgangers does not have.

Milky-burning milky belongs to the third category. Suitable only for salting, but after pre-boiling.

Milky camphor in the photo

Milky camphor is a fairly rare edible agaric mushroom, which grows exclusively in small groups from mid-July to early October. A high-yielding species that bears abundantly, regardless of weather conditions. Likes moist soil at the foot of trees in coniferous, deciduous and mixed forests.

The cap of the mushroom is convex-tuberculate, with time it turns into a funnel-shaped one, retaining a small tubercle in the middle. The edge of the cap is wavy, slightly ribbed.

The diameter is about 5 cm. The surface of the cap is smooth, dry, matte, reddish-brown or dark red, with a purple-burgundy middle. The spore-bearing plates are narrow, adherent, at first pinkish-yellow, and then brownish.

As can be seen in the photo, the leg of this species is rounded, straight, less often curved, in young mushrooms it is solid, in mature mushrooms it is hollow:

Its height is about 5 cm, and its diameter is about 0.5 cm. The surface of the leg is smooth, matte, white-pubescent at the base. Painted in the same color as the hat, but purple-red underneath. The flesh is thin, brittle, tender, reddish-brown in color, tasteless, with a characteristic smell of camphor. The milky juice is white and does not change when exposed to air.

Milky camphor belongs to the second category. In food, it is best used in salt form.

Milky sticky in the photo
The flesh is white, dense, with a peppery taste.

milky sticky conditionally edible. Cap 5-10 cm, convex, with rolled edges, later slightly depressed, with a dimple in the center, slimy when wet, sticky in dry weather, olive, gray or brownish. The plates are white, often located, slightly descending, with drops of milky juice. Leg 5-8 cm long, 1-2 cm thick, dense, hollow, lighter than the cap. The milky juice is white, plentiful, becoming olive in air. The flesh is white, dense, with a peppery taste.

Grows in deciduous and coniferous forests.

Occurs from July to September.

The sticky milky has no poisonous twins.

Requires pre-soaking. Suitable for cold pickling. With a long cold salting bitter and caustic lactic acid fermentation occurs, which reduces the sharpness and makes it more pleasant.

Milky gray-pink in the photo

Milky gray-pink is a fairly rare agaric fungus, in some reference books referred to as an inedible breast or a roan lactic. Grows in small groups or numerous colonies, forming bundles, intergrowths, from the second half of July to early October. As the main habitat, it prefers mossy soils in pine or mixed forests, as well as blueberry thickets and the surroundings of swamps.

The mushroom is inedible. Hat 10-15 cm, concave, dry, dull, finely scaly, first flat with a tucked edge, then prostrate, widely depressed, funnel-shaped with a wavy curved edge.

Pay attention to the photo - the milky mushroom of this species has a gray-pink, pinkish-beige, yellowish or brownish hat with a darker middle without concentric zones:

The plates are fragile, narrow, descending, first yellowish, then pink-buff. Leg up to 8 cm high, cylindrical, painted in the color of the cap, in old mushrooms the leg is hollow, pubescent in the lower part with mycelium. The flesh is firm, brittle, not burning pinkish-yellow or orange when fresh cut, with a strong spicy smell of hay and dried mushrooms. Milky juice is colorless, not burning. In certain weather, the funnels of old mushrooms and moss are covered with white-pink spore powder near

Grows among mosses pine forests with high-moor peat soil.

It does not have poisonous twins, but it can be confused with burning-caustic milkworts.

It differs from them in colorless, not burning juice.

Milky zoneless and pale

Zoneless Milky in the photo
The hat is flat, with a recess in the center (photo)

The milky one is zoneless (Lactarius azonites) has a hat with a diameter of 3–8 cm. The hat is dry, dull. Gray, walnut-gray, covered with small patches of a lighter shade. Ivory colored plates. The pulp and plates, when damaged, take on a reddish-coral hue. The milky juice is white, slightly spicy.

Leg 3–8 cm high, up to 1.5 cm in diameter, white, creamy at maturity, initially filled, later hollow, brittle.

Spore powder. Whitish.

Habitat. IN deciduous forests prefers oak.

Season. Summer autumn.

similarity. It is similar to some other milkers, but differs by a gray hat without zones and coral color of damaged flesh.

Use. Most likely inedible, in some Western sources it is characterized as suspicious.

The milky one is pale in the photo
The surface of the cap is smooth, matte, dry.

milky pale (Lactarius pallidus) is a rare conditionally edible agaric that grows singly or in small groups from mid-July to late August in broad-leaved and mixed forests. Differs in the steady productivity which is not dependent on weather conditions.

Its surface, as a rule, is smooth, but can also be cracked, shiny, covered with a thin layer of sticky mucus, colored yellowish or fawn. The spore-bearing plates are narrow, the same color as the cap. The leg is round, straight, even or thinner at the base, hollow inside, about 9 cm high with a diameter of only about 1.5 cm. The flesh is thick, fleshy, elastic, white or cream in color, with a pleasant mushroom aroma and bitter, but not caustic taste. It produces a large amount of white milky juice, which does not change its color when exposed to air.

The pale milky belongs to the third category of mushrooms. Soaking in cold water or boiling deprives its flesh of bitterness, as a result of which the mushrooms can be used for pickling.

Spore powder. Light ocher.

Habitat. In deciduous forests, prefers beech and oak.

Season. Summer autumn.

similarity. With pepper mushroom (L. piperatus), but it has a very caustic milky juice, which becomes gray-green in the air.

Use. The mushroom can be salted.

Milky fragrant and white

Milky fragrant in the photo
The hat is dry, wavy (photo)

Fragrant milky is a conditionally edible agaric, also known as fragrant milkweed or fragrant milkweed. Grows in small groups from early August to late September. It is found, as a rule, on moist soil areas in mixed or coniferous forests in close proximity to alder, birch or spruce.

The cap of the mushroom is convex, but in the process of growth it becomes prostrate, with a slight depression in the middle and thin edges. Its diameter is about 6 cm. The surface of the cap is dry, wavy, finely fibrous, covered with a thin layer of mucus after rain. Colored pinkish or yellowish grey colour with darker concentric zones. The spore-bearing plates are frequent, slightly descending, at first pale yellow and then yellowish brown.

The leg is round, sometimes slightly flattened, hollow inside, about 6 cm high and about 1 cm in diameter. Its surface is smooth, dry, light yellow or light brown in color. The flesh is thin, brittle, with a characteristic aroma reminiscent of the smell of coconut. It produces a large amount of milky white juice, sweet in taste, which does not change upon contact with air.

Fragrant milky belongs to the third category of mushrooms. It is eaten only after preliminary boiling (at least 15 minutes), as a result of which it completely loses its smell.

Milky white in the photo
The surface of the cap is smooth, covered with a thin layer of sticky mucus (photo)

The white milky is a rather rare conditionally edible agaric, which grows singly and in small groups from late August to early October. Most often it can be found on sandy soils, as well as on mossy areas of dry mixed and coniferous forests, especially pine.

The cap of the mushroom is convex, with curved edges, but in the process of growth it changes, becoming like a wide funnel about 8 cm in diameter. Its surface is smooth, covered with a thin layer of sticky mucus and has a blurred pattern of concentric yellowish zones.

The spore-bearing plates are forked, descending, grayish in color. The leg is round, straight, with a thickening in the center and a thin lower part, hollow inside, about 6 cm high and about 3 cm in diameter. Its surface is smooth, dry, matte, the same color as the plates. The pulp is thick, fleshy, elastic, dense, white in color, with a pleasant mushroom smell and bitter taste. It produces a large amount of white milky juice, which retains its color when exposed to air.

White milky belongs to the second category of mushrooms. It is eaten after pre-treatment - soaking or boiling. As a result, its flesh ceases to be bitter, and mushrooms can be used to prepare various dishes.

Milky faded and brownish

Faded milky in the photo
The mushroom cap is convex, with curved edges (photo)

Faded milky is a conditionally edible agaric, in some reference books referred to as a swamp wave or sluggish lactic. It grows in small groups or numerous colonies from the second half of August to the end of September, invariably giving large yields. The peak harvest usually occurs in September. Favorite habitats - areas covered with a thick layer of moss mixed or deciduous forests, as well as wet areas of soil near swamps.

The cap of the mushroom is convex, with curved edges, but gradually it becomes prostrate-depressed, with a slight bulge in the middle and wavy edges. Its diameter is about 8 cm. The surface of the cap is smooth, moist, after rain it is covered with a thin layer of mucus sticky to the touch. It is painted in a grayish or brownish-lilac color, which in dry and hot summers fades almost to white.

Depending on the habitat, a poorly distinguishable pattern of concentric zones may appear on the cap surface of mature mushrooms. The plates are frequent, descending on the leg, first cream, and then yellow. The leg is rounded, sometimes slightly flattened, straight or curved, at the base it may be thinner or thicker, hollow inside, about 8 cm high with a diameter rarely exceeding 0.5 cm. Its surface is smooth, moist, of the same color as hat, just a little lighter. The pulp is thin, brittle, painted in a grayish color, almost odorless, but with a bitter taste. It secretes a caustic milky juice, which, on contact with air, changes its white color to olive-gray.

Faded milky belongs to the third category of mushrooms. Perfect for salting, but requires pre-treatment, which deprives the pulp of bitterness.

Milky brownish in the photo
The surface of the cap is smooth, velvety (photo)

milky brownish is an edible agaric mushroom, which grows from mid-July to early October. It is necessary to look for it in dense grass, on soils overgrown with moss, as well as at the foot of birch and oak in deciduous, broad-leaved or mixed forests.

The convex cap of young mushrooms eventually becomes prostrate, with a slight bulge in the middle, and then funnel-shaped, with a thin wavy edge. Its diameter in mature mushrooms is about 10 cm. The surface of the cap is smooth, dry, velvety, brown or gray-brown, darker in the center. In dry and hot summers, pale spots may appear on the hat or it will completely fade, becoming dirty yellow. The spore-bearing plates are narrow, adherent, white in color, which gradually changes to yellow.

The leg is rounded, thicker at the base, hollow inside, about 6 cm high and about 1 cm in diameter. Its surface is smooth, dry, the same color as the cap. The flesh is soft, at first firm and then loose, creamy in color, which turns pink on contact with air. It secretes a white milky juice, pungent, but not bitter in taste, which quickly turns red in the air.

Brownish milky belongs to the second category of mushrooms, has good taste. It can be eaten without prior soaking and boiling. In cooking, it is used for cooking all kinds of dishes and for salting.

Milky brown and watery milky

Milky brown in the photo
Milky wood in the photo

Milky brown, or wood milky is a rather rare edible agaric, which grows singly and in small groups from mid-August to the end of September, giving the largest harvests at the end of the season. It occurs in coniferous forests, especially in spruce forests, at the foot of trees, as well as in dense and tall grass.

The cap of the mushroom is convex, with a blunt tubercle in the middle, but gradually it takes the form of a funnel about 8 cm in diameter with lowered chopped edges. Its surface is dry, velvety, wrinkled, dark brown, sometimes even black, individual cases whitish coating. The plates are rare, adherent, first white, and then yellow.

The stem is rounded, thinner at the base, solid inside, about 8 cm high and only about 1 cm in diameter. The surface of the stem is dry, velvety, longitudinally striated, the same color as the cap, slightly lighter at the base. The pulp is thin, firm, elastic, practically odorless, but with a bitter taste. The milky juice that she secretes in in large numbers, upon contact with air, it changes its initially white color to yellow, gradually turning into reddish or reddish.

The brown milky belongs to the second category of mushrooms. Only caps are eaten, as their flesh is softer. You can cook all kinds of dishes from them. In addition, mushrooms are used for salting.

Milky watery milky in the photo
The surface of the cap is smooth, dry, matte (photo)

The watery milky milky is a rare conditionally edible agaric, which grows singly or in small groups from early August to late September in deciduous, broad-leaved and mixed forests. The yield of the mushroom depends on weather conditions, so it does not differ in stable abundant fruiting.

The surface of the cap is matte, dirty pink (photo)

The lilac milky is a rather rare conditionally edible agaric, which grows singly or in small groups for one month - September. It is easiest to find it in moist areas of soil in coniferous and deciduous forests, especially next to oak or alder.

In young mushrooms, the cap is flat-convex, in mature ones it becomes funnel-shaped, with thin lowered edges. Its diameter is about 8 cm. The surface of the cap is dry, dull, finely pubescent, dirty pink or lilac color. The plates are narrow, adherent, painted in lilac-yellow color. The leg is round, may be slightly flattened, hollow inside, about 8 cm high and about 1 cm in diameter. Its surface is smooth, dry. The pulp is thin, brittle, tender, white or pinkish, tasteless and odorless. The milky juice is bitter, retaining its original white color upon contact with air.

Lilac milky is best salted, but first it should be soaked for several days in cold water or boiled ( drain the water!).

Milky Umber in the photo

Umber milky is a rare conditionally edible agaric, which grows singly or in small groups during the first autumn month. Places of growth are deciduous and coniferous forests.

The cap of the mushroom is convex, with curved edges, but over time it becomes like a funnel with cracked or lobed-tuberous edges. Its diameter is about 7–8 cm. The surface of the cap is smooth, dull, dry, brownish or reddish brown.

The spore-bearing plates are forked, adherent, first fawn, and then yellow. The leg is rounded, thinner at the base, solid inside, about 5 cm high and about 1–1.5 cm in diameter. Its surface is smooth, dry, grayish in color. The pulp is thin, brittle, elastic, turns brown in the air, practically odorless and tasteless. The milky juice secreted by the pulp retains its white color in the air.

Umber milky belongs to the third category of mushrooms. Like most milkers, it is primarily suitable for salting, but it must first be boiled for at least 15 minutes.

Milky prickly in the photo
The surface of the cap is matte, covered with small scales (photo)

The prickly milky is a rare inedible agaric, which grows singly or in small groups from mid-August to early October. The peak of productivity falls on the first decade of September. Most often it can be found in moist areas of the soil of mixed and deciduous forests, especially in birch forests.

The cap of the mushroom is flat-convex, but gradually a small depression forms on it, and the edges cease to be even. Its diameter is about 6 cm. The surface of the cap is matte, dry, covered with small scales, reddish-pink in color with darker, almost burgundy concentric zones. The spore-bearing plates are narrow, adherent, first fawn, and then yellow. The leg is round, in some mushrooms it is flattened, straight or curved, hollow inside, about 5 cm high and about 0.5 cm in diameter. Its surface is smooth, dry, the same color as the cap. The flesh is thin, brittle, lilac in color, tasteless, but with an unpleasant pungent odor. The milky juice is caustic, in the air it quickly changes its white color to green.

The prickly milky does not contain toxins harmful to the human body, but due to low palatability and especially the pungent smell of pulp in food, it is not used.

Milky lilac in the photo
The pulp is white, dense (photo)

Serushka (gray lactic) grows in mixed forests with birch and aspen, on sandy and loamy soils, in damp low-lying places. It occurs from July to November, usually in large groups.

The cap of the serushka is relatively small - 5-10 cm in diameter, fleshy, dense, dull, dry, convex with a tucked edge in young mushrooms, funnel-shaped, grayish-violet in color with a lead tint, with noticeable dark concentric stripes in mature mushrooms. The pulp is white, dense, milky juice is watery or white, does not change in the air, the taste is very caustic.

Records descending along the stem, sparse, often sinuous, pale yellow. Leg up to 8 cm long, up to 2 cm thick, light gray, sometimes swollen, hollow in mature mushrooms.

Conditionally edible, third category, used for salting.

These photos show milkers, the description of which is given above:

Milky mushroom burning-milky (photo)

The common lactic acid belongs to a rather numerous group of milk fungi, the main difference of which is the secretion of the milky juice of the pulp or the spore-bearing layer. All milkers are bitter, and therefore not suitable for fresh consumption. An exception can only be Euphorbia, and even then - with a stretch. Therefore, the Europeans, who drag everything into their mouths raw and have no idea about pickling and salting, have long given up on these mushrooms and put them on the “black list” inedible mushrooms. Milky, of course, also fell into this category, so do not be surprised if in some sources you find it in the section poisonous mushrooms. In our cuisine, it is treated more loyally, and is recognized as completely edible in pickling or marinade.

A brownish or gray hat up to 13-15 cm in diameter has a slightly funnel-shaped shape with a flat middle and raised edges. The plates under the hat, depending on age, from white to pale pink with rusty spots, on a cut or a break, you can create the appropriate green color scheme. The structure of the stem is hollow, slightly different in color from the cap in tone darker or lighter. The pulp has a weak pungent taste and a fishy smell, its own initial yellow color on the cut does not change color, the milky juice of the pulp is liquid.

The common milkweed grows exclusively in coniferous forests only under pine trees, it is considered forest mushroom, therefore it is quite difficult to meet him somewhere on the outskirts. Often the fungus inhabits wet coniferous sphagnum bogs.

This mushroom does not have any twins, but young "green" mushroom pickers with some enviable persistence identify it with poisonous mushrooms. It can be seen that some kind of shabbiness or little value plays a role, or maybe "foreign propaganda" works.

Common Milkweed - Mushroom early autumn, most of all he likes warm rains and cold August and September evenings.

As a product applicable in salted or pickled form; to remove bitterness, the popular procedure of boiling or soaking is used.

The hat of the milky gray-pink is large, up to 15-18 cm in diameter, round. Over the years, both a tubercle and a depression can form in the center. The edges of the cap are at first as if deliberately tucked up, later unfolding. The color of the cap, like the surface, is hard to describe. This is a velvety, water-repellent plane of a dark gray-pink-bluish color. The plates have a descending structure. Dense and thick, slightly lighter than caps in color palette. The leg is strong, has a dense structure, which over the years is transformed into uneven gaps. In mossy terrain, the leg can reach 10-15 cm in length. The pulp is very brittle, light, on the cut it secretes milky liquid juice, but not abundantly. It has a strong spicy smell and a slight bitter taste.

The gray-pink milky is distinguished by its enviable fertility - in the middle of September it can “crush” the vast areas of marshy areas rich in moss. Often found in the least wet forests, regardless of common affiliation.

There are no similar species, a strong spicy smell distinguishes this milky from others. Although, if you do not take this factor into account, there is still an oak milker, which differs in size and habitat.

The gray-pink milky grows at a time when other mushrooms are intensively fruiting: this is the end of July and the beginning of October.

The mushroom is considered of little value, in foreign sources it is definitely ranked as poisonous, which, by the way, is not mind-blowing. In our reference books it is considered either of little value or inedible. It's because of its strong smell.

The milky cap is convex. Over the years, it runs at first into a prostrate, and later into a funnel-shaped one. A tubercle remains in the center of the cap.
