Non-caustic milkweed (Lactarius aurantiacus)

Milky cap:

Diameter 3-6 cm, convex in youth, opens to prostrate with age, becomes depressed in old age; a characteristic tubercle often remains in the center. The dominant color is orange (although, like many lactic ones, the color varies over a fairly wide range), the center of the cap is darker than the periphery, although concentric zones are not visible. The flesh of the cap is yellowish, brittle, thin, with a neutral odor; milky juice is white, non-caustic.

רעקאָרדס:

Medium frequency, slightly descending on the stem, light cream when young, then darken.

ספּאָר פּודער:

Light ocher.

The leg of the milky non-caustic:

Height 3-5 cm, average thickness 0,5 cm, whole when young, becomes cellular and hollow with age. The surface of the stem is smooth, the color is close to the color of the cap or lighter.

צעשפרייטן:

The non-caustic milkweed is found from mid-summer to October in both coniferous and mixed forests, preferring to form mycorrhiza with spruce. It can often be found in moss, where it looks most characteristic.

ענלעך מינים:

The volatility of lactators is such that there can be no question of any certainty. It is possible to somehow reliably distinguish a non-caustic milker only by the method of exclusion, according to the totality of negative signs: tasteless milky juice that does not change color, the absence of a spicy smell and pubescence of the cap. Guaranteed small size also plays a role – many similar milkers with brownish-red bare caps reach much larger sizes.

עדיביליטי:

The milky one is not edible – עסן שוועמל; however, any mushroom picker without preparation will tell you a dozen species that bear fruit in the same time frame, which will be much more appropriate in the basket than a non-caustic milker.
