Collection places:
Blue breast (Lactarius repraesentaneus) is found under birch and pine in damp places of deciduous, coniferous and mixed forests.
Description:
Blue breast (Lactarius repraesentaneus) has a yellowish hat, velvety, shaggy around the edges. The flesh is dense, white, bitter in taste, the milky juice is white, but in the air it becomes purple. The plates are frequent, narrow, descending, pale yellow with a purple tint. The leg is thick (up to 3 cm), loose inside, hollow when ripe, turns blue when touched.
Differences:
The blue breast has the same yellow cap as the yellow breast, but it is distinguished by the characteristic purple color of the milky juice at the break. The same shade and in his rare plates. This unusual coloring often scares off pickers, although blue milk mushrooms are quite tasty in pickling.
