Sweet Milk Cap

description Sweet Milk Cap Overview

Lactarius glyciosmus, known as the sweet milk cap, is a small to medium milk-cap fungus associated especially with birch trees in Europe and North America. Its cap is usually grayish brown, buff, or pinkish brown, and the fruit body releases white latex when damaged. A characteristic coconut-like or sweet scent distinguishes it from many other Lactarius species. It is generally described as edible in some regional guides, although it is not considered a principal food mushroom.
