Mushroom milky sticky
Category: inedible.
Sticky lactic cap (Lactarius blennius) (diameter 4-11 cm): gray-green, often with dark concentrated zones. The edges are lighter than the center. In a young mushroom, the cap is slightly convex, flattens with time and even becomes slightly concave.

Where can I find: only in deciduous forests next to birches and beeches. Sometimes found in mountainous areas.
