Lactarius salmonicolor is a species of fungus in the family Russulaceae. It is an edible mushroom native to most of Europe as well as in bogs and conifer forests of Canada, the Great Lakes region and the north-eastern United States.[1] The species derives its name from the term "salmonicolor," meaning salmon colored in Latin.[3] It is majorly exploited in Europe for its culinary uses.[3]
