Candy cap is the common name for several closely-related edible
species of Lactarius mushrooms.
These species are particularly distinguishable by their scent,
which has been variously compared to maple syrup, camphor, curry,
fenugreek, burnt sugar or Malt-O-Meal. This scent may be quite
faint in fresh specimens, but typically becomes very strong when
the fruiting body is dried.
They impart a flavor and aroma to foods that has been compared to
maple syrup or curry, but with a much stronger aroma than either of
these seasonings. Candy caps are unique among edible mushrooms in
that they're often used in sweet and dessert foods, such as cookies
and ice cream.
To use them as a flavoring, the dried mushrooms are either powdered
or they are infused into one of the liquid ingredients used in the
dish, for example, being steeped in hot milk, much the same way
whole vanilla beans are.
As with all wild mushrooms do not eat them unless their identity is
confirmed by an expert.
Sign only evil micro.
