Saffron milk cap,Lactarius deliciosus (Agaricus deliciosus)
Order: Russulales
Family: Russulaceae
Sp.: Pinetell, Rovellon Basque: Esne gorri
Common names: Saffron milk cap, Nícalo, Mízcalo
The saffron milk cap is the most common of the lactarius with red or orange "milk". It has a initially convex flat cap, which then takes a cup shape of 5 to 15 cm in diameter. It has an orange cuticle, covered with a whitish powdery substance, marked by darker concentric zones of reddish brown, which turn green with time. The gills are tight, uneven, and arched, with an orange color, although they can sometimes turn green. The stem is short, tapered towards the base, with an orange cream color, powdery and later stained green. The saffron milk cap is common in wet areas, in pine forests, during summer and autumn. The flesh is initially white and then turns greenish orange, it is tough and brittle, and exudes a sweet orange "milk" that turns green when exposed to air.
The saffron milk cap is one of the most sought after edible mushrooms for its good flesh and relative abundance. It gives off a fruity scent and gastronomically offers an excellent flavor, although the Lactarius sanglifuus (bloody milk cap) is much more appreciated in this aspect, as it is considered the best of the red "milk" lactarius. It should not be confused with the Lactarius salmoni, which has no gastronomic interest. The latter does not turn green and lacks the typical rosettes or dimples on the stem.
