[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
In my previous post, I showed and old and dry fungus called Lactarius chrysorheus, and I thought that it was fair to show a fresh an imaculate one too.

Fungi of the genus Lactarius, sometimes called Milk-caps, are characterized by the fact that they exude a milky fluid ('latex') if cut or damaged.

Sometimes the flavour, colour or evolution of the latex can be used to determine the especie, like in this case. If you look at the picture in the left, you will see some imaculate white fresh latex drops flowing out of the cutting I have just made on the gills with my knife. Now if you look at the detail which is csptured 1 min. later, a yellow tone can be seen on the drops. After some hours, it would be dry, and colour darker. The taste of this latex is sour and a bit hot. This features added to the shape, place, season, etc. lead most probably to Lactarius chrisorheus.

Buenos días Felipe y Cristina,
Lactarius chrysorheus al descubierto, vista por todos los lados. Además de unas imágenes impecables, el tamaño y la proporción de cada rectángulo es ideal para el punto de vista y aspecto resaltado. Perfecta, bonita e instructiva...
Abrazos, José M.

Un trabajo espléndido y muy instructivo sobre esta curiosa seta. Desde luego el nombre de Lactarius no se lo dieron porque sí, ¡anda que no suelta leche! El collage ha quedado magnífico englobando perfectamente los distintos aspectos del hongo.
Felicidades y un fuerte abrazo
Saludos
Maite

Muy buenas Felipe
Otro gran documento el que nos muestras, mis felcicitaciones.

P.D. Te puse un correo desde TN, no sé si te llegaría... era relativo a una pregunta sobre el objetivo macro tuyo.

Bonjour,
Belle présentation bien didactique.
Bonne journée.
