Where to look: milk white brittlegill

A field over the measurement network. The colour here is for the leading species at each point, not for this one; a per-species layer is computed for one region so far.

About the species. Eaten in parts of Europe after cooking and often used for preserving. It does not produce latex when broken, unlike true milkcaps. The dry cap and lack of a shaggy margin are useful clues, but these features alone are not enough for a safe identification.

Milk White Brittlegill: the species in brief

How to tell it

A stout white to cream mushroom with a depressed or funnel-shaped cap. It often pushes up through soil and leaf litter, so the cap is commonly dirty or partly buried.

Where it grows

In broadleaved and mixed woodland, often deep in the litter layer.

In the kitchen

Commonly preserved or salted in eastern and central Europe. The texture stays fairly firm; fried specimens are mild in flavour.

Nutrition

Low in calories. Exact values vary with age and preparation.
