lactarius alnicola
The Golden Milkcap is a bright orange mushroom that grows on the forest floor. It releases a milky substance when you break it, which is why it's called a milkcap!
Hábitat: Golden Milkcaps thrive in cool, moist forests, especially under birch trees.
The Golden Milkcap has a brilliant golden to orange-yellow cap, often sticky when wet, and paler cream-yellow gills. Its stem matches the cap color. A unique feature is the white, milky liquid it exudes when cut or bruised, setting it apart.
