The sharp hazel Milchling ( Lactarius pyrogalus, syn. Lactarius hortensis ), because of his burning sharp taste and biting Milchling or Brennreizker called, is a fungal art from the family of Täublingsverwandten (Russulaceae). The fruit bodies are greyish in color and have distant, yellowish lamellae . The fungus grows on hazelnuts .

features

The species has a hat 5–10 cm in diameter that is gray-brown or gray-yellow, sometimes with olive or purple tones. It is flat convex to completely flat and becomes funnel-shaped with increasing age. The hat is sometimes zoned concentrically, it is thin-fleshed and becomes sticky when wet, but does not shine. The stem measures 4–6 cm in length and 7 to 15 mm in diameter. It is generally cylindrical but sometimes thickened at the base. The stem is whitish or has the color of the hat, its flesh is also whitish. The mushroom has slightly curved lamellae that are yellow to orange in color, but turn ocher in color with age. The meat exudes a burning sharp, white milky juice that turns yellow with potassium hydroxide .

The Scharfe Hazel-Milchling produces a light-colored spore print ; the spores are broadly elliptical with warts and an incomplete network. They reach dimensions of 7–8 by 5.5–7 µm . The spores are amyloid , which means they turn blue with Melzer's reagent .

The yellowish, distant and slightly sloping lamellae are characteristic.

Ecology and phenology

The Sharp Hazel Milchling is a mycorrhizal fungus and only grows with hazel . It is not bound to forests and often grows in hazel trees that are cultivated for stick erosion .

It is widespread and occurs from August to October.

meaning

Lactarius pyrogalus has a very pungent, bitter taste and is sour. This is reflected in its German name as well as in the scientific name " pyrogalus ", which can be translated as "fire milk". Although non-toxic, it is considered inedible.

confusion

The banded hornbeam milkling is just as sharp, but grows in hornbeams and has a more zoned hat, and it also has thicker, non-sagging lamellae.

The Bent Milchling has a thicker, more violet-colored hat, slightly more compact lamellae and a violet-gray stem with a yellow base. It also grows with birch , spruce and pine .

The distant yellow lamellae distinguish the Sharp Hazel Milchling from other gray Lactarius species such as the pale-rimmed Milchling .

Taxonomy

Lactarius pyrogalus was first described as Agaricus pyrogalus by the French mycologist Bulliard in 1792 , before it was given its current scientific name in 1838 by the Swede Elias Magnus Fries . Its specific name pyrogalus is derived from the ancient Greek roots pyro- "fire" and gala "milk".

Since the original description of " Lactarius pyrogalus " cannot be clearly assigned to one of the two species, the name is also used by some authors for the banded hornbeam milkling .
