found at dunes in northern cali
    #7804025 - 12/27/07 01:17 PM (16 years, 1 month ago)

well i have been searching all season but have just come across these as my first find ever. I believe they are active but i am no expert like allot of you.
I found them in the grassy part of the dunes in humboldt county under a bush with some pine needles
They have a greenish color on the stem and caps
I am working on a spore print right now but it is not ready yet.
Here are the pics.

If they bleed an orange latex where cut, they are Lactarius deliciosus. Not active. Mycorrhizal with Pine.

They are certainly from the L. deliciosus group of species. All of the members of that group are edible, although they vary in how worthwhile they are for eating.

Given that the stems appear to be entirely non-scrobiculate (no pits), they are probably L. deterrimus, which appears to be the most common of those species.


Another *very* important feature for accurate identification of Lactarius is the genus of trees they are growing under. Unfortunately, most of the references are from Europe, and they have very few kinds of Pine. They distinguish between Pine, Fir, and Spruce when making IDs, so it's often difficult to determine which trees a mushroom should be growing under.

Happy mushrooming!

That's funny, when I found lactarius deliciosus, I thought they were my first actives. I was sure it was some unidentified new species of gymnopilus. But, that greenish blue bruising, no matter how psilocybian it looks, isn't. Beautiful shrooms though. Now I find em all the time in late summer. They love wet places under engelman spruce around here, and seem to be indicative of a healthy environment, often times growing in a somewhat similar habitat to boletus edulis. Best of luck, and now you know not to be fooled by lactarius deliciosus.

Thanks for the replies, after i looked up lactarius deliciosus they look just like all the pictures. Well from what i read on here the season will be coming to an end pretty soon so i guess if i dont find some cyanescens soon ill just have to try again next year. Thanks for all your help.

L. deterrimus is a European species.

Given the amount of douglas fir in the pics, I am pretty sure that these are Lactarius rubrilacteus, a non-scrobiculate species common in California.

Lactarius deliciosus grows under pine and is very closely related to the mushrooms you found. When you break the cap, L. deliciosus has orange flesh while L. rubrilacteus has reddish flesh.

This is not Lactarius quieticolor because that species grows under pine.  The needles in this pic are douglas fir and the common species of Lactarius that grows in CA under fir is L. rubilactius.
