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.
