Lactarius Mushroom - Lactarius sp. I wish I knew what species this mushroom was! It had a pink hue and reddish color around the margin of the cap. Pink-cream colored gills. Stem was hollow. When I knocked one over, it immediately started bruising red and greenish blue along the stem and gills, and the gills started leaking red fluid. The colors changed so quickly and were psychedelic and awesome! Geotagged,Lactarius,Lactarius Mushroom,Spring,United States,fungus,mushroom Click/tap to enlarge

    1. The colors changed so quickly! Wish I had it on video, but I mostly just stood there transfixed, staring, and saying, "whoa"! Posted 7 years ago
