Lactarius glyciosmus
Pale coconut milk Ling ( Lactarius glyciosmus )
The Pale coconut milk Ling ( Lactarius glyciosmus ) is a species of fungus in the family Täublingsverwandten ( Russulaceae ). It is a small to medium sized dairy Ling, who has a pink to cream -brown, velvety hat and typicaly smells of coconut flakes. The fruiting bodies of the pungent-tasting milk for human consumption and compact bloom from August to October birches. Other names for the Milchling are little coconut milk or Ling Pale fragrance Milchling.

Features
Macroscopic characteristics
The hat is 12-6 cm wide and depressed first arched and spread with rolled edge, but soon and easily. He often wears in the middle of a small hump. The hat surface is dry, matte coated to feinsamtig and often ripe like or weißflaumig. Sometimes the hat skin is also weak kleinschuppig. The hat is light gray, pale gray brown, gray pink or flesh- colored pink and faded aged dull cream to brownish pink from. He is often colored pale at the edge, but usually ungezont, but can also be zoned indistinct. Moisture guard is easy hygrophanous.
The rather narrow slats are grown on a stick or short run down it. They are pretty crowded and are more or less mixed but not forked. They are only white- colored pink to pale ocher and ocher later pale. At the age they are mottled brown or gray-brown. The spore powder is off-white to pale ocher.
The slender, more or less cylindrical stem is 2-7 cm long and 0.5-1 cm thick up. It is quite soft and fragile and often compressed or grooved. The stem is first stuffed inside, but will soon be hollow. The stem bark is smooth and dry, and often slightly pruinose at the top. The ball is similar to the hat colored or paler. The stem base is often covered with a whitish felt.
The whitish flesh is soft and brittle. Hydrates it is pale cream to pink brownish. It tastes only mildly and then slow slightly spicy and smells slightly fruity and typical for this type of coconut flakes. The relatively sparse milk flowing is immutable whitish and also tastes only mildly and then moderately sharp.
Microscopic characteristics
The broadly elliptical spores are on average 6.5-8.1 microns long and 5.0-6.3 microns wide. The Q value (ratio of length and spore width) is 1.1-1.3. The spores ornament is 0.5-1.0 microns high and consists of individual, burred extended warts and ridges, which are mostly arranged zebra stripe-like and only partially connected mesh-like. The Hilarfleck is inamyloid or amyloid only in the outer part.
The slightly clavate basidia measure 28-46 x 8-12 microns and usually bear four sterigmata. The blades cutting are heterogeneous and that has prompted the numerous basidia, club-shaped to bulbous, 40-85 microns long and 7-10 microns wide Cheilomakrozystiden. The 40-75 microns long and 7-12 microns wide Pleuromakrozystiden are clavate to fusiform and few in number. At the top they are obtuse or more or less pointed.
The hat skin ( Pileipellis ) is a weakly developed cutis, which passes partly into a Trichoderma. It consists mainly composed of parallel, 3-12 microns wide hyphae and of individual ascending and above hyphae. The hyphal walls are partially gelatinized weak, between individual Lactiferen are interspersed.
Artabgrenzung
The Pale coconut milk Ling is characterized by its almost certainly pleasant coconut smell and its occurrence among birch trees on dry to fresh soils. Only the slightly larger, darker gray brown colored dark fragrance Milchling (L. mammosus ) has approximately the same smell, albeit much weaker. It grows in calcium-poor coniferous forests, and is therefore often be found under spruce. Also it tastes hot and is inedible. Also similar is the very rare hunched Milchling (L. pilatii ). However, it is odorless and the hat skin is colored sticky to slimy and kuhrot in young, fresh condition, echoing Kuhroten Milchling (L. hysginus ). Although the Milchling is also a birch companion, but he grows preferably in raised bogs surrounded by dripping wet Torfmoospolstern. A certain similarity also ausgeblasste fruiting bodies of the Purple milk -form (L. lilacinus ). They are a little more robust, fruity smell and grow with alders.
Ecology
The Milchling grows usually sociable or in smaller groups in bogs, forests or parks under birch trees. One finds in frequently to grassy woodland sites or in moss beds on low base more or less fresh soils. The fruiting bodies appear between August and October.
Dissemination
The Milchling is in North America ( USA, Canada) North Asia (Mongolia) and used in Europe. He has also been detected in New Zealand. He is frequently throughout Fennoscandia and its range extends into the arctic zone. He has also been detected on Spitsbergen and Greenland. In Central Europe it is rare and in southern Europe it is probably present only in the mountains. In Germany the pale coconut milk Ling is widespread and common in Austria and Switzerland.
System
Lactarius glyciosmus 1818 glyciosmus first described by EM Fries as Agaricus, 1838, he then placed it in the genus Lactarius, so he got his today valid name. L. glyciosmus is synonymous with Galorrheus glyciosmus (Fr.) P. Kummer 1871 Lactifluus glyciosmus (Fr.) Kuntze 1891. He was also by some authors ( Quél., and Rick ) mistakenly called Lactarius mammosus. But L. mammosus Fr, the Dark Fragrance milk ling is an independent Art The Latinized Artattribut ( epithet ) glyciosmus derives glukos of the ancient Greek words " " sweet, " and osmos " smell " from.
Infra Generic Systematics
The Pale coconut milk Ling (L. glyciosmus ) is the model type of the section Colorati. The representatives of the section have velvety to felty and never greasy hats. The steady milk is sparse and / or watery. In the section Bon Colorati originally the rank of a subgenus. M. Basso, the section Colorati in the subgenus Russularia while she puts them in the subgenus Piperites Heilmann -Clausen.
Importance
Feed value
The Täubling applies in South and Central Europe because of its sharp taste as inedible. In Eastern Europe, he is nevertheless collected as edible mushroom.
Ingredients
As well all Milkcaps contains the pale coconut milk Ling various sesquiterpenes, which are also responsible for the pungent taste. Since the sesquiterpenes are only released enzymatically from fatty acid ester, the meat and the milk tastes initially mild. The best known sesquiterpenes of coconut milk Ling are the two Lactarane Blennin A and its Sterioisomer Lactarorufin N and the Secolactaran Blennin C. Blennin A and C were - as the name suggests - first isolated from L. blennius the gray green Milchling and come in quite a few milk Lingen ago. Both compounds have a strong inhibitory effect on leukotriene C4 biosynthesis and act as anti-inflammatory.
