Blue Mushrooms

This summer's changing weather has made foraging wild edible mushrooms difficult. The hot/dry conditions in the early summer slowed or reduced mushroom gathering. The current late summer/early fall rains have restarted some mushrooms and I'm starting to find some nice Indigo milk cap (Lactarius indigo) "Blue Mushrooms". The indigo milk cap is a blue or blue-gray mushroom that exudes a dark blue milk when cut or damaged.

Indigo milk cap mushrooms are edible and we cooked these in butter, along with a couple of chanterelle mushrooms I found.
( Don’t eat any wild mushrooms without first checking with a local expert)
