- Indigo Milk Cap, Lactarius indigo, growing on the ground in the leaf clutter of Vista Farm’s pine and live oak forest. It is a very wet area at present after a month or so of daily rains. “The milk, or latex, that oozes when the mushroom tissue is cut or broken — a feature common to all members of the genus Lactarius — is also indigo blue, but slowly turns green upon exposure to air. Lactarius indigo is distributed throughout southern and eastern North America, but is most common along the Gulf Coast, Mexico, and Guatemala. They are also commonly found in floodplain areas that have been recently submerged.” Source: Wikipedia
