Lactarius glyciosmus
4-5cm across and about 7cm tall, growing uinder birch. The milk was abundant and smelled and tasted of coconut. There was a faint hint of the soapy taste some other milkcaps have and possible hints of the spicey sensations also common in other milkcaps. L. glyciosmus is listed as edible in a number of different descriptions although I can't find any mention on preparation whether it's used dried as a spice or added whole to a dish. L. cocosiolens smells of coconut but has an orange or brown cap and doesn't grow under birch. L. vietus milk turns from white to grey and it doesn't smell of coconut
