    It is a little hard to see the usually milky colour of this mushroom because of all the dirth, but I have never seen such a big one. It was found near this big scaly hedgehog mushroom. It must have been a good season for the mushrooms.

    Wow Wildflower, indeed it is huge. I once read a lot of factors come into play that determine how good a season is for mushrooms. Posted 11 years ago

The Peppery milk-cap

''Lactifluus piperatus'', commonly known as the peppery milk-cap, is a semi-edible basidiomycete fungus of the genus ''Lactifluus''. Despite being edible, it is not recommended by some because of its poor taste, though can be used as seasoning when dried.
