speciesLactarius deterrimus
locationWamberg approach
habitatUnder spruce (Picea), more rarely in mixed forest, from lowland to subalpine
edibilityEdible
├─ Key Features
- │ ▸ Orange to carrot-red cap with faint concentric zones, greening with age
- │ ▸ Orange, later greenish milk that stains weakly orange on exposure
- │ ▸ Gills bruise green where damaged
- │ ▸ Stem without distinct pits; latex mild to slightly bitter, never hot
└─ The markings on the stem are not prominent enough to be "pits" and thus indicative of the "real" saffron milkcap.
speciesRussula delica
locationWamberg approach
habitatConiferous and mixed forest, often under pines; in moss and needle litter
edibilityEdible after thorough cooking
├─ Key Features
- │ ▸ Pure white to ivory convex cap that becomes funnel-shaped with age
- │ ▸ Firm white flesh that stains ochre-brown, especially towards the base
- │ ▸ Decurrent, crowded cream-white gills
- │ ▸ Short, stout, often buried base
- │ ▸ Faint, oily or fishy odour
└─ One of the largest and most robust brittlegills, often growing partly buried in moss and pine litter, making it easy to overlook until the cap breaks the surface.
speciesSarcodon imbricatus
locationWamberg approach
habitatConiferous forest, mycorrhizal with spruce and pine
edibilityEdible when young, but often bitter
├─ Key Features
- │ ▸ Large brown cap covered with coarse, dark brown, roof-shingle-like scales
- │ ▸ Grey-brown, brittle teeth instead of gills under the cap
- │ ▸ Becomes broadly funnel-shaped with age, sometimes with greenish zones
- │ ▸ Stout, grey-brown stem
└─ Often deeply bitter; cooking does not remove the bitter taste, making most finds unusable.
