The Candy Cap: The mushroom that tastes and smells exactly like maple syrup 🥞🍄
Lactarius rubidus — small, reddish-brown mushrooms that smell and taste intensely of maple syrup or burnt sugar when dried.
Foragers use them to flavour ice cream, cookies, and desserts. One of the most surprising and delightful edible finds in North American forests.
Nature’s own candy from the ground.
