Lactarius glaucescens, milk turns green on drying, orange reaction with KOH, and thick suprapellis with sphaerocysts not visible. Under oak. New Welsh record (again 😳 )

Great stuff!Chris
From the same trip to Canaston Woods as the last Lactarius. Lactarius camphoratus(note to self, in future, ignore small brown Lactarius with white unchanging milk! 😡 )Growing in Larch wood, but this was near some Beeches. As an afterthought, I crushed some to get a curry smell.
A small Lactarius – up to 35mm diameter. (6-7 fruit bodies seen.)
Only caveat is that the spores are a little large.
Cheilocystidia acute
Pleurocystidia absent
Pileipellis cellular

Wasn’t going to go out today (with the rain) Glad I did, found this beautiful Orange Grisette, Amanita crocea. It must have been 1ft tall.
This was in an incredible little mycorrhizal hotspot. A path about 100m long and it has at least 3 species of Russula, 2 Lactarius, at least one bolete, and this Amanita. The mile of so of woodland before this had hardly anything fungal to see. A mix of oak, beech and birch seems a good combo. Didn’t measure it I’m afraid, but it was the tallest mushroom I’ve seen, apart from Macrolepiota procera. Definitely more than 6″ (said the actress to the bishop…) – p.s I only brought a piece of the cap home in case microscopy was needed, left the rest there to drop its spores. My favorite mushroom so far this year
Unfortunately I find this often in my patch (Brynna Woods) it makes finding Boletes much easier but then I fail to id them! Yours looks like there are some patches of chrome yellow developing marksteer wrote:Unfortunately I find this often in my patch (Brynna Woods) it makes finding Boletes much easier but then I fail to id them!

Yes, someone IDed it for me in exactly the same place on exactly the same date last year
😯 but more spectacular.
