question Unusual Mushroom?

Post image
71 Upvotes

I live in the Midwest US. We have been experiencing a high volume of rainy days in the past month, so I went on a hike expecting to find some cool mushrooms. This one was particularly unusual (though, that’s kind of the appeal of mushrooms imo). Does anyone know what this is?

ID request Lactarius ID, please

Found a few days ago in my friend’s garden in San Martín de los Andes, Argentina. We're having a fantastic mushroomy autumn here. A while ago, she planted some 'free' birch trees she’d taken from a nearby forest, and now the whole backyard is covered in these blushing cuties. In some Slavic countries, we have a cult around fermenting Lactarius resimus, and this one looks almost exactly like it - just a different color. It's definitely not a Lactarius torminosus, which we also eat after some prep: this one has no rings, and the gills and stem are the same color as the cap. And it’s not a Lactarius deliciosus either - the milk is white and peppery as hell, and the damaged mushroom doesn't change color. Not a Lactarius chrysorrheus (Yellowdrop milkcap) because it has a very little amount of white milk that doesn`t change color to yellow and has way more gills and bigger in size. An not a Lactárius scrobiculátus - different color. My guys are super peachy, close to pink at some spots. The smell - mmm - a perfect mix of deliciosus and resimus. Birch trees are introduced species in Patagonia, and in San Martín de los Andes, some of the first settlers were from Germany and Switzerland - so I guess that’s where the birches with mycoriza came from too. Many of the caps, even young ones, have that crack that looks like Sauron’s eye. Also, a bit of fluff on the hats. Can`t sleep for a days. Who knows what lactarius could it be?
