Despite the name, this species is just as good as the Saffron Milkcap. Note, before consuming any mushroom please consult an expert for identification and consult a range of field guides- even trees inoculated with one species may eventually produce different and unintended species under field conditions. This is a mycorrhizal fungus that lives in symbiosis with the plant host, and is tolerant of a range of climates but likely prefers acidic soils.
