[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Name: Lactarius pterosporus
Family: Russulaceae

A quite good looking milk-cap growing in bunches, near old beeches.
It has a velvety texture on the cap, chocolate-brown coloured. The stem is a bit lighter coloured, having a hazelnut-like tint. Flesh is crisp, casant when broken, producing a translucid white sap that turns slowly in slight red.
Although the limax and other snails eat this mushroom (as you can clearly see in the picture), this is not an edible specie, having a very hot and persistent taste and a chemical reagents smell.
Therfore this is a very good specie only for photography.

Hi Petru!

You're right - very good looking fungi. I love to eat fungi, especially with eggs. These one are very nice - I like theirs velvet surfaces and brown colour.

Hi Petru, it looks like you have taken a bite out of some of these milk-caps. Good find, great colours and sharp details. Well done,
Janice

Hi Petru,
An excellent looking fungi shot. Your flash exposure is excellent with the nice colors and sharp detail. From the leaves and twigs you can tell thhese are very small in scale. Looks great!

Excellent composition Petru!
Some like hot and spicy, but I reckon the Lactarius pterosporus is not the way to get the hot and spicy seasoning with your eggs...;-) I wonder what the escargot taste like after feeding on these?
Thanks for sharing,
Dave
