rujnica · Lactarius deliciosus
An orange, carrot-coloured mushroom of pine woods, loved for grilling and pickling — it 'bleeds' orange milk when cut, a reassuring sign for foragers.
Identification & best seen
Orange cap with concentric rings; bruises greenish and exudes carrot-orange 'milk' when broken.
Habitat & where to see
Pine and spruce forests, autumn.
Slice one and it weeps bright orange — the giveaway that you've got the edible rujnica.
