False saffron milk cap

False saffron milk cap

Milk caps are a group fo mushrooms which exude a watery fluid, often white in colour, when cut or broken. Fresh false saffron milk caps look like the commoner saffron milk cap, to the extent that they were thought to be a mere sub-species until less than fifty years ago.

The pale blue discolouration is not mould. It’s a normal colour change in aging false saffron milk caps.
