The poison is apparently soluble in water and can be removed in this way-for which he should be thankful! Genus LACCARIA Edible: LACCARIA (CLITOCYBE) LACCATA This common species (Figure 17) is found almost everywhere in wooded areas from early spring until late fall. Although it usually comes up in clusters, it may occur singly also. The cap of young specimens is convex, later becoming flat, and about 1 to 1 1/2 inches across. The colors of both cap and gills are exceedingly variable, the most common being a light salmon, but those with a watery red cap and lilac or even 39 Figure 17.
Lactarius cilicioides. Edible. Figure 23. Lactarius deliciosus. Eminently edible. 46 WHITE SPORE PRINT The juice is rather scanty, white but turning pale yellow almost as soon as it is exposed to the air (this is especially noticeable where gills and flesh join) and in a few minutes becoming white again. It is fairly common, especially in coniferous woods, in late summer and fall, individual specimens being scattered through the forest.
