Pine Mushrooms
Also known as Lactarius deliciosus also known as Saffron Milk Caps, Orange Fly Caps

Commonly grow under pine trees. Often known as milky saffron, as they exude a milky orange sap when cut. Vibrant saffron-coloured cap, gills and stem. Firm texture. Full, roasted nut flavour.

Usage:

Young Pine Mushrooms are tender and suitable with fresh pasta and egg-based dishes. Older, larger specimens require long, slow cooking – best in casseroles and stews.

Preparation: Discard stems before use.

Availability: Summer to autumn, after warm sunny days and good rain.
