Clay-gilled Milkcap (Lactarius argillaceifolius) is a species of mushroom that releases a latex when damaged.

Indigo Milk Cap Mushroom

Lactarius indigo

These otherworldly deep indigo blue milkcaps contain a derivative of azulene. This pigment is also found in some species of soft corals throughout the oceans.

Edible (at your own risk). They have a mild taste to me and I prefer them sauteed.

My shop is still on #vacationmode while I catch up on things and heal my stomach ulcer but here is a look at the finished display for my #ghostpipe sculpture. This piece is a homage to the little ecosystem at my local park where I found many #monotropauniflora and #russulaceae mushrooms this summer. I used real dried leaves from the park on the base I made for the glass flowers and mushrooms. This piece is meant to spark conversation about the interconnected relationships between plants, trees and #mycorrhizal fungi happening below our feet when we tread in the forest.

Lactarius torminosus, karvarousku

Hi! Inat also couldn’t identify this one. Any ideas?

This looks like a member of the Russulaceae family, most likely a milkcap, and mostly likely the Pale milkcap (Lactarius pallidus). Though the gills appear darker than you would expect, they are in shadow, and do frequently turn ochre as the fungi ages, as this mature specimen has.

Of course, knowing where you were submitting from would help a lot!
