Common name: false saffron milkcap.
Russian name: Ryzhik finskiy.
Extract from Wikipedia article: Lactarius fennoscandicus is a member of the large milk-cap genus Lactarius in the order Russulales. It is found in Scandinavia, where it grows in a mycorrhizal association with spruce trees.
Lactarius fennoscandicus is a species of milk cap fungus that grows in association with coniferous trees. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, it is commonly found in pine and spruce forests, often on acidic soils. The fungus produces small to medium-sized fruiting bodies with a brownish-gray cap and white gills, exuding a whitish milk when injured. It typically fruits from late summer to early autumn.

Spores of a false saffron milkcap mushroom (Lactarius fennoscandicus) collected earlier 8/2/2024 in Tarkhovka Park, west from Saint Petersburg, Russia, August 23, 2024Observations of Lactarius fennoscandicus in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal distinct characteristics. The underside of a young false saffron milkcap mushroom shows a porous surface. The cap of the mushroom is also observed, displaying its shape and coloration. A cross-section of the mushroom provides insight into its internal structure. Further examination involves collecting spores, which are later studied under closer inspection, such as on August 23, 2024, when spores collected earlier on August 2, 2024, were analyzed. These observations contribute to a deeper understanding of Lactarius fennoscandicus in this specific region, highlighting its morphological features and potentially its habits and distribution within north-western Russia, specifically around the Saint Petersburg area. The study includes detailed examinations over time, such as from August 2 to August 23, 2024.
