Lactarius salmonicolor

Funghi

Lactarius salmonicolor

B tier

Lactarius salmonicolor is a fir-associated orange milk cap with salmon tones—edible in the broad milk-cap culinary culture of Europe but not the top Catalan grill icon. Ecology under fir helps separate it from pine deliciosus. Cook young specimens; older ones toughen. Flavour is mild. Include in regional foraging repertoires where fir forests dominate.
