Decurrent orangish fungi pair in Heeswijk-Dintherse Bossen, Netherlands
Today I learned that the proper term to indicate gills of a fungi running downwards the stem as seen in the photo above is "decurrent". It may help in searching for a species match. This species match is based on several reference photos that show that the False saffron milkcap can range from yellow to pink in color. Given that I found similarly shaped fungi in yellow in the same area, my theory is that both fungi on the photo are the False saffron milkcap.

Lactarius deliciosus is one of the best known members of the large milk-cap genus "Lactarius" in the order Russulales. It is found in Europe and has been accidentally introduced to other countries under conifers and can be found growing in pine plantations.
