Lactarius pallidus (Pers.:Fr.) Fr. |
The cap is pinkish cream. The cap surface is smooth. The flesh is unchanging; its texture is grainy (breaking like a chalk stick). The gills are adnate to decurrent, crowded . The spore print is white. This species is mycorrhizal. It grows on a rather calcareous soil, with beech, oak, hornbeam, birch. The fruiting period takes place from July to November.
Distinctive features : pinkish-cream to pale brown cap, viscid when damp; milk white, unchanging; stem same colour as cap or paler; gills often stained with red; with deciduous trees Lactarius pallidus is quite rare and localised in the forest of Rambouillet, and is occasional, more generally speaking . | ||
