Lactarius deliciosus, commonly known as saffron milk cap or red pine mushroom, it's an edible mushroom very much appreciated on a culinary level (I leave you the recipe at the end)!
I leave you a sequence of photos where I prepare and cook a few that I harvested one morning in the forest ...
Its orange color is wonderful and its latex makes a fantastic sauce!

My recipe:
- Heat some quality olive oil in the pan,add a bay leaf and a good handful of chopped garlic cloves
- Let it cook until the garlic turns a blond color and then add the mushrooms. Cook for a few minutes, until the mushrooms release their orange latex
- Add a teaspoon of thick balsamic vinegar sauce and reduce. Cook until the orange sauce becomes thick.
- At that time season with salt and black pepper.
Ready to serve ... Simple and good!
