Lactarius scoticus
The Fluffy Moor Milchling ( Lactarius scoticus )
The Fluffy Moor Milchling ( Lactarius scoticus syn:. Lactarius pubescens var scoticus ) is a species of fungus in the family Täublingsverwandten ( Russulaceae ). It's a pretty small Milchling, which grows on damp and peaty soils in birches. The mushroom has a slender stem and a whitish or cream-colored ungezonten hat. The brim is lined frayed in youth with short hair. The fruiting bodies of the inedible milk Lings usually appear sociable July to October.

Features
Macroscopic characteristics
The hat is 2-7 (8 ) cm broad, at first convex and strongly rolled-up edge, then increasingly depressed with the spread- edge and sometimes deepened even funnel-shaped in age. The smooth surface is dry and dull, pressed increasingly woolly - velvety and outwardly in the middle velvety to hairy. The brim is typically lined frayed mm long hairs especially in young fruit bodies with 1-2 (3). The hat is initially pale creamy white to almost white, then often pale reddish ocher to cream or yellow ocher. The center is usually slightly darker ocher to yellowish- brown in color.
The pretty crowded lamella are wide grown on the stem or running slightly down it. They are narrow to medium wide and sometimes forked stick in close. Young blades are cremeweißlich, older orange - cream colored or dyed rosaockerlich. The spore powder is pale cream color.
The cylindrical to slightly club-shaped stem is 2-4 ( 7.5) cm long and 0.4-1.0 (1.5 ) cm wide. The smooth to very finely velvety surface is dry and pale cream color at first, later dark and often mottled with yellow ocher. The interior handle is initially fully and later often hollow.
The rather brittle and relatively soft flesh is whitish to cream-colored or reddish ocher. It tastes and smells immediately very sharp sour and fruity. The white, not very abundant milk dries yellowish cream. Also, it tastes almost immediately very sharp.
Microscopic characteristics
The breitelliptisch spores are on average 6.5 to 6.9 microns long and 4.9-5.0 microns wide. The Q value (ratio of length and spore width) is 1.2-1.5. The spores ornament is up to 0.5 microns high and consists of numerous, isolated standing warts and ribs, partially connected mesh-like by thin lines, The Hilarfleck sometimes has a central amyloid stain.
The cylindrical, clavate to bulbous, mostly 4- sporigen basidia are 30-45 microns long and 7-9 microns wide. On the vane surface are scattered to numerous Pleuromakrozystiden before that measure 40-60 × 7-10 ( 11.5 ) microns. They are fusiform to lanceolate and often carry above a patch, significantly extended tip. The blades cutting is heterogeneous, in addition to the basidia one finds relatively few bent - fusiform Cheilomakrozystiden. This measure 30-50 × 6-8.5 microns and running at its upper end from a small tip or are constricted like pearls.
The hat skin ( Pileipellis ) is a Ixocutis from the majority of parallel, closely interwoven, 2.5-8 microns wide hyphae. The mucus layer is 10-20 microns thick.
Artabgrenzung
The Fluffy moor Milchling can often be distinguished only with difficulty from small specimens of Downy milk Lings (L. pubescens). Even microscopically, the two species are very similar.
The peat - Milchling distinguished by the slighter, less hairy fruit body whose stem is usually not more than 4-8 mm thick. The Fluffy Milchling has stronger and stockier fruiting body and the hat brim is hairy longer, so it looks more or less villous, while the brim of Downy Downy Milchling has fewer and shorter hairs and thus acts like fringed.
In addition, the Downy Downy Milchling has significantly fewer slats, a light yellowish discoloring milk and the stem has no pink, ring-like zone beneath the slats. The peat - Milchling prefers very moist to wet sites in bogs, while the Fluffy Milchling is hardly tied to specific locations or floors.
Ecology
The Fluffy moor Milchling is a mycorrhizal fungus, which is strictly bound to birches. It is found usually only in bogs where the fungus grows in damp wet places, usually in the middle of Torfmoospolstern. The fruiting body usually appear sociable and often in large numbers from July to October.
Dissemination
Since the Milchling is bound to boggy locations, it is rare in southern, western and central Europe or missing entirely. But in the northern European bogs he is a fairly common fungus. In Central Europe it is found only slightly more common in the Alps.
Since the Milchling is more or less bound to Moore, it is very rare in Germany and is probably slightly more common only in the marshes of southern Bavarian foothills of the Alps before. You can find the Milchling in the bogs of Switzerland ( Jura. Central Switzerland ), where the species can be quite often local.
System
The Fluffy Milchling in 1879 under the name still used Lactarius scoticus by MJ Berkeley and C. R. Broome described.
Nomenclatural synonyms are Lactifluus scoticus ( Berk. & Broome ) Kuntze (1891 ) and Lactarius pubescens var scoticus ( Berk. & Broome ) Krieglst. (1991).
Further taxonomic synonyms are: torminosus L. ssp. pubescens (Fr.) Konrad & Favre (1935 ), L. torminosus var Gracillimus JELange (1940 ), L. albocremeus Z.Schaefer (1958) and L. favrei H.Jahn (1982). Even with Lactarius pubescens within the meaning of Konrad & Maublanc, Blum, Bon, Marchand is the Downy Moor Milchling.
How Kriegelsteiner hold many mycologists the Milchling for a variety of Downy dairy compact, since the two types are themselves hardly tell them apart by experts. The Latin Artattribut ( epithet ) scoticus means Scottish ( skotisch ).
Infra Generic Systematics
The Fluffy moor Milchling provided by M. Basso and Heilmann -Clausen in the sub-section Piperites which is available within the same section. M. Bon puts him in the Tricholomoidei section corresponding to the section Piperites largely. The representatives of the sub-section Piperites hats with fringed, or shaggy woolen hat brim and always white, more or less steady milk. The Fluffy moor Milchling is very closely related to the Downy Milchling, often both types are hard to separate.
Importance
The pungent Fluffy moor Milchling is not edible mushroom.
