Tacked Milkcap

– Cap convex to expanded with a depressed centre, grey-lilac to yellow-grey, often zonate.
– Gills adnate to slightly decurrent, cream-white to cream-yellow.
– Stem paler than the cap, hollow, slimy.
– Flesh exudes white, acrid-tasting latex.

Grows with birch and spruce in moist, mossy deciduous and coniferous forest. Common throughout the country.

Edible, but must be parboiled in plenty of water, which is then discarded before preparation.
