A fact from this article appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the "Did you know?" column on July 20, 2010.

The text of the entry was: Did you know ... that "milkcaps" can be orange (pictured), bright yellow, golden, woolly, downy, northern, sticky, smoky, velvety, deceptive, or vulgar?

Edibility

In the respected book of Mauri Korhonen "100 sientä" (100 mushrooms), the mushroom is claimed to be edible and is collected for food in Finland and in Russia. Not only can it be consumed pickled (as many acrid milkcaps), but also pan-fried, and when tasted raw has only mildly irritating taste (even though it's not consumable raw!). In the Portuguese wiki article, a similar toxicity claim (se ingerido pode provocar dores no estômago) also goes unreferenced. Any citations please? AlexNB (talk) 11:48, 16 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]
