    Lisa, I saw you tried to link in another photo yet it rendered as a link, not a photo. I just wanted to explain why. For it to render as a thumbnail, you need to use the full link. The full link has the ".html" at the end, whilst the short link only ends with a number.

    Fixed it for you in your post, but know you know why it happened.     Posted 7 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.
