• Lactarius
unknown - Mystery Milkcap
These stunning little fungi often pop up in huge groups. I love their deep ochre-orange colouring, which contrasts with their white milk.
deliciosus - Saffron Milkcap
Despite its enticing name, this is not all that tasty apparently. They're stunningly beautiful - all sorts of interesting colours on the cap, and they bleed a bright carrot-orange milk.
quietus - Oakbug Milkcap
Very common, and easily identified by the milky white secretion when damaged.
rufus - Oakbug Milkcap
If it weren't for the deep brick-red colour, these would probably be indistinguishable from L. quietus above and L. tabidus below.
tabidus - Beech Milkcap
These stunning little fungi often pop up in huge groups. I love their deep ochre-orange colouring, which contrasts with their white milk.
torminosus - Wooly Milkcap
A very aptly named, very wooly milkcap.
