From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Lactarius deterrimus is a mushroom closely related to Lactarius deliciosus. It is however not reckoned to be that tasty.
This mushroom was formerly considered to be a variety of L. deliciosus and is distinguished by the milk turning wine-red on drying - but only after up to thirty minutes.
It has orange or red milk and a carrot-orange coloration, in many cases becoming flecked with green or blue-green with age.
L. deterrimus is found in coniferous woodlands in Europe.
