FOTD #087 : saffron milk cap! (lactarius deliciosus)

the saffron milk cap (also red pine mushroom) is an agaric milk-cap in the family russulaceae. it occurs in portugal, bulgaria, spain, greece, italy cyprus, france, chile, australia, aotearoa, south africa & poland, but may possibly be more widespread. it often grows in association with pine trees :-)

the big question : can i bite it?? yeah !! it's edible. however - unlike the scientific name suggests - it is not very "deliciosus". it is instead quite mild or even bitter.

l. deliciosus description :

"lactarius deliciosus has a carrot-orange cap that is convex to vase shaped, inrolled when young, 4 to 14 centimetres (1+1⁄2 to 5+1⁄2 inches) across, often with darker orange lines in the form of concentric circles. the cap is sticky & viscid when wet, but is often dry. it has crowded decurrent gills & a squat orange stipe that is often hollow, 3 to 8 cm (1 to 3 in) long & 1 to 2 cm (1⁄2 to 1 in) thick. the flesh stains a deep green colour when handled. when fresh, it exudes an orange-red latex that does not change colour."

Since I haven't said much about Saffron's own abilities yet, here's an idea: She can manipulate/transform plant life and even give plants some form of sentience. This would work for a lot of utility-related reasons, such as creating barriers from vines, poisoning enemies, or creating little plant creatures to fight for her (sort of like in the second doodle).

oh and on the topic of William using Evan as a lure to bring other kids close!

Evan is ofc a very shy kid, with little self-confidence, who doesn't make friends very easily, and the scars he has from the Bite don't help much on that front.

That's where William comes in. William's expertise is putting up fronts and putting on masks, after all.

All this to say, Michael is extremely unnerved the first time he tries encouraging Evan (post William's capture) to leave the house and make friends. He's unnerved at the way his little brother completely disappears when around other people. He's unnerved when he looks at Evan and sees William's smile and hears William's laughter and William's jokes and ice breakers. Something about the way Evan says all the right things to get others talking and letting their guards down without Evan ever giving away anything about himself leaves chills down Michael's spine.
