Lactarius turpis
no distinctive smell. growing near silver birch. milk white to cream and perhaps plentiful (but I don't know what counts as plentiful). Milk didn't change colour much but didn't try on white cloth. tasted mildly soapy at first and then began to burn very spicy, not the same sort of burn as capsaicin, the effects last for longer and something seems different. A couple of hours later the gills had bruised brownish (last pic). I don't eat any of the mushrooms I find; I only chew then spit out the pulp
