Re: Lactarius rugatus

Dear Birgit,
Photo name is only for internet i write rugatus but i think is a volemus.....
We have much rugatus in our territory thei have large lamellen that volemus have stricts...
Only a microscopical study can to resolve that question......
because rugatus is a volemus that have not "Cistides".....
but in this time i havent time for microscope...
In my country we like Lactarius rugatus and some pilzefreund prefer to other mushrooms....
Colour-photos are original colours very dark-red-brun-orange and lamellen have a colour dark cream-couloured...... very simile to original mushrooms......
Yours faithfully
Barbanera

Hello adi,
I'm sorry, but I noticed that the the picture is named Lactarius rugatus
(runzeliggezonter Milchling), in the second thread the first picture is
likewise L. rugatus. L. rugatus seems to be a double to Lactarius volemus,
and is a mediterranean species. I had the impression that the colours on
the pictures are more intensive and slightly darker than those of a usual
Lactarius volemus. Nevertheless I'm a little bit doubtful because the milk
of the shown mushroom is flowing so rich, which is characteristic for L.
volemus.
There are regions in Germany where Lactarius volemus is growing again in
bigger numbers, it could perhaps be that this species is recovering again.
Barbanera, does L. rugatus grow frequently in your region?? L. volemus is an
excellent muhroom to eat (if he would grow more frequently). Is L. rugatus
edible and if yes how does it taste?
Ciao
