Saffron Milkcap in Brandenburg: where to look
Saffron Milkcap: the species in brief
How to tell it
An orange cap marked with darker concentric rings. Bruised areas often turn green. The orange latex is one of the most useful identification features.
Where it grows
Associated with conifers, especially pine, in plantations, woodland edges, grass and moss.
In the kitchen
Often fried, grilled or preserved. In parts of eastern Europe it is also salted. Its firm texture and slightly resinous flavour stand up well to simple cooking.
Nutrition
Low in calories. Nutritional values vary by species, age and preparation.
