Lactarius indigo
« on: September 04, 2017, 05:17:23 »
A biologist friend invited me and another photographer friend to go to the woods to look for blue fungi ...

Since I never seen blue fungi I accepted, he said we were a bit late but still we found many

Here are a few images from the blue ones

What lovely fungi — I had no idea there were blue fungi.
They certainly provided you with some most unusual photographs.

Are they edible or highly toxic?

Thanks Ann, I was told they are edible once cooked the right amount of time.

Very interesting and well done photos. I also had no idea there was such a thing.

Interesting species!

One of the pictures shown in Wiki is shot in Guadalajara.  It seems to be popular out there:
