Indigo Hunting

One of my favorite mushrooms is the Indigo Milky Cap.

It is one of my favorite colors, Indigo blue, and has an unusual shape and texture.

It has been wet here in North Carolina. I should have been out indigo hunting.

I almost missed these. They have all ready faded, but are still beautiful.

Lactarius indigo

The advantage of finding them late is the snails have found them, too.

The snails and I both love these Lactarius indigo mushrooms.

A Blue Mushroom

I am always on the lookout for some fun fungi.

One of my favorites is the Indigo Milky Cap mushroom, Lactarius indigo.

I think they are lovely.

The inside and sap are true indigo blue.

These show up under our oaks in the fall.

This one has a distorted shape. It is rubbery and tough.  I never eat wild mushrooms. I love my liver.
