Saffron milk cap, Lactarius deliciosus

Frequently asked questions

Are there ready-to-use substrate blocks for growing saffron milk caps?
No, saffron milk cap cultivation is purely wild, and there are no production blocks like with other mushrooms. To grow them, you must use mycorrhized pines or apply inoculum to the roots of existing pine trees.
Can I grow saffron milk caps if I already have adult pine trees in my garden?
Yes, it is perfectly possible using Lactarius deliciosus inoculum. This nutrient-rich mycelium mixture is applied directly to the root system of your adult pines to introduce the fungus into the ground.
