BatailleSaffron milk cap, Red pine mushroom, DE.: Weinroter Kieferreizker, Sudlich Blutreizker Weinroter Kiefern ReizkerSlo.: krvosona sirovkaDat.: Oct. 9. 2012Lat.: 46.34939 Long.: 13.57248Code: Bot_667/2012_IMG1412Habitat: grassland with some bushes and scattered trees, Pinus nigra, Picea abies, Ostrya carpinifolia, Fagus sylvatica, Corylus avellana most frequent; under a canopy of Pinus nigra; slightly inclined mountain slope, south aspect, fairly warm and dry place, in half shade; calcareous ground; partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 610 m (2.000 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil.Place: Bovec basin, east of the pastures at Plajer's place, at the foot of Mt. ukla, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC. Comments: Lactarius sanguifluus is relatively easy to recognize by its feature that its milk is blood red from scratch, not orange at the beginning and gradually turning to red, like in several other species with orange/red milk. It is mycorrhizal to Pinus sp.. Otherwise its color can vary widely from greenish, vinaceous, almost bluish, orange, yellowish .... Growing in a fairly scattered group; about eight fruit bodies present; pilei diameter up to 10.5 cm, stipe up to 7 cm long; milk immediately red, almost not changing, after some time becoming more grayish; taste at first indistinctive, then slightly bitter and after that lightly and persistently burning, but not strongly; smell almost non; context quite brittle, after long time (hours) context becoming lightly greenish and at the base of the stipe slight, longitudinal, greenish strakes appear; SP light ocher.Spores smooth, warty. Dimensions: 7 [7.9 ; 8.3] 9.3 x 6.1 [6.9 ; 7.4] 8.2 microns; Q = 1 [1.1 ; 1.2] 1.3 ; N = 25 ; C = 95%; Me = 8.1 x 7.2 microns; Qe = 1.1.

Lactarius volemusWeeping Milc Cap, BradleySlo.: sona mlenica, mlena peenicaDat.: July 06. 2010Lat.: 46.33599 Long.: 13.52555Code: Bot_433/2010_DSC3107 Habitat: Mixed forest, predominantly hardwood, moderately inclined toward southeast, cretaceous clastic rock (flysh) bedrock, relatively humid place, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevations 460 m (1.500 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: soil.Place: Bovec basin west of Bovec, near the trail from station A of Mt. Kanin cable car to village Pluna, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: Growing scattered, pileus diameter up to 7.5 cm (3 inch), taste distinct but not sharp or bitter, smell on fish; SP whitish, milk white becoming brown with time. Spores seem slightly too big, possibly because they were measured across warts.Spore dimensions: warty, 10.0 (SD = 0.6) x 9,3 (SD = 0.5) micr., Q = 1.08 (SD = 0.05), n = 30 .

A complex of Orange Milk Caps found in western North America.

I'm pretty sure this is a Hygrocbye, even though the ones at the back appear to be growing on wood. I think it might have white spores, as the upper, dry, portion of the gills of the fruiting body looks white. (See below!)Photographed at Cradle Mountain, on the Dove Lake Circuit Walk.

Stereum subtomentosumYellowing Curtain Crust Slo.: ametasta slojevkaDat.: Jan. 05. 2012Lat.: 46.34472 Long.: 13.56255Code: Bot_587/2012_DSC2122 Habitat: South inclined mountain slope, mostly broadleaf forest, calcareous ground, quite humid but warm place, mostly in shade, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies, average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 8-10 deg C, elevation 505 m (1.650 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: dead trunk of a cut off broadleaf tree, lying on ground, quite rotten but still mostly in bark. On the same log also Fomitopsis pinicola.Place: Bovec basin, at the foot of Mt. ukla, below Ravni laz place, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC Comments: According to Ref.:(2) S. subtomentostum has no acanthohyphydia in the hymenium while similar S. ostrea has them (Ref.:(2), p335 and key on p.356). I was unable to find them in spite of the fact that they should be quite large (>100 x 5-10 micr. Ref.:(1)). There was no bleeding observed probably because of fairly dry state of the fruitbodies and weather. Average day temperatures about 0 deg C with -5 degC during the night.Pileus dimensions up to 9 x 5 cm (3.5 x 2 inch), 1 mm or less thick. Smell indistinctive. Cup upper surface rusty-red-brown (oac700), hymenium dull brown-red (oac700), trama of wood color, with thin (~ 0,1 mm) brown upper layer and about 0.4 mm thick hymenial layer.Ref.:(1) G.J.Krieglsteiner (Hrsg.), Die Grosspilze Bade-Wrttembergs, Band 1, Ulmer (2000), p339.

Lactarius camphoratus (Bull.: Fr.) Fr., syn.: Lactarius cimicarius BartschCurry Milkcap, DE: Kampfermilchling, Kleiner Zichorien-MilchlingSlo.: kafrna mlenicaDat.: Sept. 09. 2014Lat.: 46.36529 Long.: 13.74988Code: Bot_835/2014_DSC3920Habitat: mixed wood, Picea abies and Fagus sylvatica dominant trees, moderately inclined calcareous ground, eventually locally somewhat acid; NW oriented mountain slope, humid and shady place, partly protected from direct rain by tree canopies; average precipitations ~ 3.000 mm/year, average temperature 5-7 deg C, elevation 950 m (3.100 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: moss covered forest soil among (decayed) roots of a Picea abies stump in its latest stage of disintegration (decomposed almost to soil).Place: Lower Trenta valley, next to the trail from village Trenta to Planina Lepo, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comments: Dull, matt, like velvety, ocher-red-brown color of pilei and fairly 'unicolor' appearing fruit bodies are typical for this quite common milkcap. However, several very similar species like Lactarius quietus, Lactarius rufus, Lactarius badiosanguineus and Lactarius serifluus exist growing almost in the same habitat. Yet, determination of Lactarius camphoratus seems still quite easy. Decisive is its smell on 'kitchen spices'. It is already noticeable whit fresh fruit bodies but becomes obtrusively strong when they are dried. In the literature the smell is described like on curry, on 'Maggi', on chicory, on camphor, etc.. Anyway, the smell is strong, specific and hard to forget.Growing in several groups of up to four pilei together, more than 15 pilei all together present; pilei diameter 4 - 5 cm; stipe 3 - 4 cm tall and about 8 - 9 mm in diameter; taste mild but distinctive, mushroomy, slightly unpleasant; smell first mild, later stronger and particularly strong when dry, on spices; flesh quite brittle; SP abundant, beige, oac857; pilei not bruising; milk quite abundant, whitish, actually consisting of watery fluid with white milky, like coagulated, inclusions; milk not changing color and remaining white even when dry and of mild taste, not burning or being distinctly bitter.Spores coarsely warty with some ridges. Dimensions: 6.9 [7.6 ; 7.9] 8.6 x 6 [6.7 ; 7] 7.7 microns; Q = 1.1 [1.12 ; 1.15] 1.2; N = 32; C = 95%; Me = 7.7 x 6.8 microns; Qe = 1.1.Olympus CH20, NEA 100x/1.25, magnification 1.000 x, oil; in water; live material.

Pileus diameter up to 14 cm, slightly viscid, doesnt peel much, stem up to 7 cm tall, firm, dry; SP whitish (oac900); Taste acrid and bitter, smell indistinctive.Spores warty with large appendixes.
