Mushroom
« on: October 29, 2020, 05:47:53 PM »
Not uncommon this autumn in our local woods, I thought to quickly put a name to this one, only to find out that I can not find a resemblance online nor in my French mushroom bible, now probably somewhat out of date ( Champignons de France,  guide vert, 1985,  excellent in France but maybe less so in Britain?)
Does anyone know a new for this beauty?

Fascinating Bart but I wouldn't fancy it for breakfast.

Judging by the general shape and size, it's probably a Lactarius of some sort. But I'm afraid I don't know which. That is a very odd colour!

Yes I was looking at lactarius spp. It grows near lactarius delicious , but as far as I can tell there are no lactarius’ of this colour.  L. Indigo is not listed as native to Britain
I think the lamellae are too wide and corse for an agaricus species. There is a chance a younger specimen would be not as darkly coloured, but even then I can’t find a match!
