Lactarius musteus Fr. Kiefern- Milchling, Pine Milkcap. Cap 4–10cm across, at first flattened convex, soon with a depression, whitish to pale buff with a slight flesh tinge, in places with pale ochre tinges, very firm, thick-fleshed, surface sticky when moist; margin inrolled, later incurved, even and regular to somewhat irregular, slightly felty. Stem 30–80 x 10–35mm, concolorous with the cap, often with a broad band of pale rosy buff, with a watery appearance, below the gills, fairly hard; surface sticky when moist, smooth, with a network of fine, translucid veins, sometimes with scattered, oval, fawn spots, with a large cavity. Gills slightly decurrent, pale creamy with a slight rosy buff tinge, pale greyish olive after several hours where bruised, rather narrow, closely spaced, frequently forked near the stem. Milk white, becoming dull olive on the gills after several hours, abundant; taste mild but after a while very slightly hot. Spore print pale cream (C). Spores elliptic, warts joined by thin to thickish ridges which tend to run across the spore and form a loose partial network, 8–9 x 6.5–7µ. Habitat under pines. Season late summer to early autumn. Rare. Only known in Britain from the Cairngorms, Scotland. Edible if cooked. (Never eat any mushroom until you are certain it is edible as many are poisonous and some are deadly poisonous.)
