These mushrooms are valued for their highly aromatic qualities and are used culinarily as a flavoring rather than as a vegetable. Description and classification[edit] The candy caps have been placed in various infrageneric groups of Lactarius depending on the author.

Subsection Camphoratini is defined by their similarity in color, odor (with the exception of L. rostratus – see below), and by the presence of macrocystidia on their hymenium.

List of culinary fruits

This list of culinary fruits contains the names of some fruits that are considered edible in some cuisines. The word "fruit" is used in several different ways.[1] The definition of fruit for these lists is a culinary fruit, i.e. "Any sweet, edible part of a plant that resembles fruit, even if it does not develop from a floral ovary; also used in a technically imprecise sense for some sweet or sweetish vegetables, some of which may resemble a true fruit or are used in cookery as if they were a fruit, for example rhubarb.

"[2] Note that many edible plant parts that are true fruits botanically speaking, are not considered culinary fruits. For inedible fruits, please see list of inedible fruits. Alphabetical list by common name[edit] A[edit] B[edit] C[edit]
